Academic Health Center College of Veterinary Medicine Facilities Development Planning TeamVeterinary medical facilities have been situated on the University of Minnesota’s St. Paul Campus for at least 110 years. Early documentation, a photo dated 1891, shows a two story wood framed “Veterinary Hospital” located on the present site of the current College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM). In 1901, a brick “Veterinary Building” was constructed replacing the wood framed hospital. This 1901 structure, now titled “Veterinary Anatomy”, still stands - a testament to Veterinary Medicine’s long-standing association with the University’s St. Paul Campus. From this modest beginning, CVM facilities have grown to nearly 600,000 gross square feet. As the college’s programs continue to expand, the need for additional facilities continues to grow. In fact, the Minnesota Facilities Model (MFM) reveals that during the next 5 years, the College will require an additional 40,500 square feet of assignable space to accommodate planned programmatic growth.Item Discovery Phase Summary and Strategic Modeling Phase Summary: Proposed Consolidation for the School of Public Health(University of Minnesota, 2003-05-07) University of Minnesota. Academic Health CenterThere are, essentially, three phases to the strategic facility planning process. The first phase is called the assessment or discovery phase. During this phase, the planning effort is focused on conducting a comprehensive examination of the school’s current programmatic and facility resources. Working within the School of Public Health’s four academic divisions plus the Dean’s administrative office, and their respective departments, the planning team is responsible for examining the school’s current research, educational and administrative programs and for understanding what space, in terms of quality and quantity, is now assigned to these areas. This evaluation also includes a review of how the School of Public Health delivers education and research across departmental lines. In this phase, the planning team explores what works and doesn’t work in terms of the facilities being able to support the work of these units and will attempt to understand how the facilities could be improved given current programmatic goals. Simultaneously, the AHC Office of Facilities has conducted a physical evaluation of the school’s space.Item Strategic Facility Planning(University of Minnesota, 1998) University of Minnesota.

Since then, new buildings have been built, others have been renovated, programs have expanded, and new inter-professional, interscholastic programs are being formed within the AHC and with other areas of the University, including the Institute of Technology and the College of Biological Sciences. Additionally, to support the University’s goal to become one of the top three public research universities in the world, new facilities and new models for delivering health sciences research, education, and clinical care are needed. The AHC Precinct Plan needs to be updated, incorporating these changes and looking to the future.Item Academic Health Center Minneapolis District Plan 2000 to 2020(2000) University of Minnesota.
