ABOUT For 70 years, the Garver Feed Mill in Madison, Wisconsin served as home to food production uses ranging from sugar beet refining to dairy and poultry feed processing. Since 1997, the City of Madison has owned the vacant 55,000 square foot Mill and the 26 acres of adjoining land. In 2015, the City of Madison selected Baum Revision to preserve the Mill—an icon of the region’s food production heritage and industrial architectural legacy—and re-activate the building and grounds as a hub for Madison’s burgeoning local food industry.

THE GARVER FEED MILL PROJECT

The renovation of this iconic project as an employment hub centered on food processing is historically accurate and seems remarkably fitting for this time in history. Garver’s location, physical structure, and landmark status present an ideal facility for this use. When completed, the Garver Feed Mill will be listed as a national historic landmark. The rehabilitated building will be replete with the modern specifications necessary for a functional food production facility. The building’s tall ceilings present an ideal space for the many producers who need the height and can use vertical stacking methods to maximize their storage capacity. The building also has several dock doors providing for efficient loading for multiple users.

SITE PLAN

MAKING HISTORY, AGAIN.

Community Spaces Complementing the tenant production spaces, secondary spaces will host a vibrant mix of public and educational uses/activities for the benefit of tenants and other stakeholders.

Since late 2013, Baum Revision has been working with over a dozen food production companies that have confirmed a strong leasing interest in the Garver Feed Mill, as it provides both a great location and the ideal functionality required for efficient food production.

events Garver Feed Mill will have a 3,500 square foot indoor atrium, two outdoor patios and the Garver Green (a 3/4 acre lawn) to host one-of-akind private, community and tenant events, which will benefit from the Mills unique character and desirable location.

The renovation of this iconic project as an employment hub centered on food processing is historically accurate and seems remarkably fitting for this time in history.

RETAIL

A 2,000 square foot cafe and weekly farmers market will provide locals and visitors an opportunity to taste, enjoy and bring home the best of Garver made and Driftless region food products.

Over the past decade, Madison has become home to some of the region’s and country’s most recognizable artisanal brands. Due to their success, each company has outgrown their current space. Affordable facility options for tenant relocation and expansion in the Madison area are very limited.

Office

14,000 square feet of dedicated office space for tenant producers and other related organizations will be available for rent. Activating these spaces with complementary uses will generate renewed public attention to the building’s place in local history—establishing the project as a truly quintessential Madison experience. These spaces will create special opportunities for the public to get up close with the historic features of the building and the artisans themselves.

Making History, aGAIN

Garver Feed Mill's various uses are expected to draw over 50,000 visitors annually.

To overcome the cost associated with urban-based manufacturing, plans for the building leverage it's size and layout to provide tenants with more efficient stacking and loading. Most importantly, the synergies of co-locating these businesses under one roof with shared equipment, industry contacts and business services can help accelerate each employer’s growth. MAKING HISTORY, AGAIN.

LOCATION Contextually, the building is located adjacent to the 16-acre Olbrich Botanical Gardens, a popular tourist and local destination owned and operated jointly by the City of Madison Parks and the nonprofit Olbrich Botanical Society. The Gardens host over 250,000 visitors per year and provide educational classes, programs, and events for adults and children year-round. The site for the Garver Feed Mill is bordered by 21 acres of parkland, an urban stream that flows into the nearby Lake Monona and a primary arterial bike path that connects to the center of downtown Madison, just 3 miles away.

DESTINATION: MADISON

Our vision is to integrate the programming for the Garver Feed Mill in a manner that is both sensitive and complimentary to these surrounding rk .) P a y (O .B S h e rr amenities. In doing so, we will create both a truly special landmark as well as a world-class regional destination. 1 St

Redefining a more affordable way of living Garver will include a first-of-its-kind international showcase of micro-units (150-700 sq ft) located on four acres adjacent to the Mill. These 50 different units will be the first of a series of national developments designed to define a new housing category that is more affordable, efficient, and sustainable. To be operated as a hospitality venue, this â&#x20AC;&#x153;micro-lodgeâ&#x20AC;? concept will showcase the best micro unit models curated from around the world. Each one will feature unique, innovative designs and/or technologies. They will also be built using best in class sustainable methods and construction materials. Throughout the site, we also intend to integrate sustainable urban agriculture and create a platform for educational programming functions.

Ideabox

Due to rising costs and stagnant wage growth, today nearly 40 million Americans are spending more than 30% of their income on housing payments, property taxes and other home expenses. The average size house in 1950 was 983 square feet and has ballooned to over 2,300 square feet, driving up utility costs and energy usage as a result. Ultimately, people spend more hours working to keep up with these expenses and commuting to work, using the most precious resource of all: time. None of this is affordable or sustainable; especially for people with low or moderate incomes. Recently, developers and cities have been exploring smaller, more affordable, sustainably built micro housing as a potential solution in urban environments. There are creative ways to implement this on a community scale and Garver is the first development designed to explore these design innovations and technologies. The goal is to create a transformational model based on the principles and values from Garver, and develop these communities in other geographies across the country.

ENVIRONMENTAL Energy efficiency and renewable energy applications are particularly important to high energy consumption food-based manufacturers. The project will include a 150KW rooftop solar array and various energy saving schemes that, when combined, will help

tenants save 24% to 36% on their annual energy demands. Green spaces, restorative storm water management practices, bike-friendly amenities and demonstrative urban agriculture will all be sustainable features of the project.

Partnerships Through various partnerships with community groups, the project offers unique opportunities for meaningful collaboration to achieve impactful, locally-based solutions towards a more fair and sustainable food system. For

MAKING HISTORY, AGAIN.

As a world-class regional destination, travelers to the landmark Garver Feed Mill building will get a first-hand experience of what makes Madison's most successful artisan food businesses work. Garver visitors and guests of the micro-lodges will get a one-of-a kind tiny-

home experience. The opportunity to see and stay in the some of the most advanced and best designed tiny homes creates an attraction like nowhere else in the world.

Catalytic example, demonstrations of urban agriculture and tours of food processing facilities offer an ideal platform for local youth education programs to teach where food comes from and how to make healthier food choices.

The Garver property sits between two of Madison's key commercial corridors just two miles east of downtown and is situated between two of Madison's attractive, affordable residential neighborhoods. In a time of shifting

preferences for unique urban destination developments and support for local food economies, the Garver site represents a catalytic opportunity that will have positive impacts on the community for decades to come.
