Project Title: Spending Authority Request For the Alumni/Foundation Building Statewide Priority: NA
DESCRIPTION OF FACILITY:
General Description: This request seeks to obtain spending authority to construct an Alumni/Foundation Building on campus. There is a vision
for an accessible multi-purpose facility that is available to the public and the University community. The University of
Montana proposes constructing a 54,549 gsf facility which would include office space, meeting rooms, and provide a
basement for storage.
Impact on Existing Facilities: The existing space would return to the campus inventory for reassignment.
Functional Space Requirements: The University of Montana proposes constructing a 54,549 sq. ft. multipurpose public outreach building which would
include meeting space, office space and storage.
EXPLANATION OF PROBLEM Both the Foundation and Office of Alumni Relations have missions that include public outreach. The current facilities are
BEING ADDRESSED: not readily available to the public and parking is difficult. The current space is not designed to accommodate the types
and number of gatherings that are crucial to these organizations. These functions are regularly scheduled in other
campus buildings. If this facility is constructed the existing space could be returned to the campus inventory which could
desperately use this type of space.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: 1. Defer the requested construction until the State funds the project.
2. Grant The University of Montana spending authority.
Rationale for Selection of Granting the spending authority would allow the University to construct a new Alumni/Foundation building on campus
Particular Alternative: using private donations and grants.

GENERAL NARRATIVE: Alumni/Foundation Building
Currently housed in Brantly Hall, the Office of Alumni Relations does not have a home befitting the pride our alumni feel
for this university. A new and functional alumni center is needed and will serve to unite all stakeholders in The University
of Montana family and strengthen the bonds that tie all of us to the University’s distinguished past, rich heritage and bright
future. A new alumni center will serve as a resource for those that depend on the university and stand as a beacon and
welcoming front door to all those visiting campus and those returning “home.” A new Alumni/Foundation center will serve
many critical functions:
* Provide a new campus gateway and welcoming home-base for alumni and other campus visitors
* Strengthen UM connections with alumni and prospective donors
* Enable the UMAA to create and expand programs and activities that reach a broader alumni audience
* Create meeting and event spaces for alumni, students, faculty, and the public that is full of the rich heritage
of the University and displays our greatest treasures
* Is a place to celebrate the values, traditions, and history of the University
* Showcase alumni accomplishments, and recognize distinguished alumni and donors
* Encourages lifelong relationships between alumni and The University by boosting visibility of the UM Office of
Alumni Relations
* Maximize the effectiveness of the Office of Alumni Relations and the UM Foundation by providing a better public
image,
easier access for visitors and a functional working environment for their staffs.
* Encourages lifelong relationships between Alumni and The University by boosting visibility of the UM Office of
Alumni Relations among the current students and graduates.
* Maximize the effectiveness of the Office of Alumni Relations and the UM Foundation by providing a better public
image, easier access for visitors and a functional working environment for their staffs.
* Provide a venue for Alumni attending pre and post parties in conjunction with athletic, cultural and academic
events.
* Bring The University of Montana up to par with other west coast universities, most of which have beautiful Alumni
Centers.
Spending Authority is requested from the State to be granted to The University of Montana to construct and administer
this new Alumni/Foundation facility on campus. All construction and project expenses associated with this project would
be funded from sources other than those directly received from the State. The University of Montana is requesting
operations and maintenance support from the State for only the portion of the facility which houses the Office of Alumni
Relations (33,274 GSF)
