PROJECT BACKGROUND Introduction

Over the years, and more recently with the emergence of a global pandemic, the prevalence of student homelessness on college campuses across the country has increased significantly. Data shows that it is more common for students to encounter some form of housing insecurity than have all their needs met during their time at college (Baker-Smith et al., 2020). This leads students to default on payments, couch surf, and sleep in inhumane spaces such as cars or streets. Given that 31% of our student population deals with housing insecurity here at UW-Madison, The Dean of Students is looking to repurpose a historic university building into a place of refuge. The goal of this project is to create a safe environment that promotes the wellbelling,

is imperative we make these students feel understood and provide the necessary resources and support.

PROJECT BACKGROUND Mission

Statement

To renovate the Red Gym located on the University of Wisconsin campus into a safe, clean, and healthy living environment for students facing housing insecurity or homelessness that will allow them to focus on their overall wellbeing and allow them to flourish as a student here on campus.

Goal

Statements

The Red Gym Housing Project will provide all students with access to resources and facilities to be successful in their studies. It will allow students to redirect their focus to their education instead of focusing on fulfilling their basic needs. (Issue: Fulfilling Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.) The Red Gym Housing Project will cultivate a community for its users, fostering a feeling of belonging. (Issue: Sense of community.) The Red Gym Housing Project will invoke a sense of comfort and rejuvenation for students so that they can regain financial and housing security. (Issue: Financial and housing insecurity.)

SITE ANALYSIS Building

History

The “Red Gym” on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus is more formally known as The University of Wisconsin Armory and Gymnasium. This Romanesque Revival red brick building took architects Alan Conover and Lew Porter roughly two years to complete and was officially opened in 1894. The initial need for this magnificent building was to provide better athletic facilities, assembly and auditorium spaces, and a place to hold military training for male students. Given its superior location between Langdon Street and Lake Mendota, the Red Gym was also the center of university and city sporting, social, political, and cultural events for many years. As time passed, campus leaders made plans to have the Red Gym demolished as it was becoming an inadequate and outdated space. However, in time, its beauty and historical significance was honored when it was included in the Bascom Hill Historic District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The resilience of the Red Gym was tested in 1970 when it was firebombed by arsonists looking to target ROTC. While flames took roughly seven hours to tame, repairs were made and the Red Gym was fixed. Today, the Red Gym has shifted roles to more of a landmark as opposed to a prevalent campus space and houses some of the student services UW offers.

PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS 1. Sleeping

Bed

Cluster

Area

The sleeping area will provide students with a designated area to reside and store any personal belongings. In total, it will hold at least 15 beds and each student will be supplied with lockable storage to offer students peace of mind that their valuables are safely secured. This reassurance and guarantee of privacy and security will help reduce the stress of students staying in the facility, and ultimately increase their comfort (Frasca-Beaulieu, 1999).

The one-bedroom apartment will provide a housing option to those in need of a more long-term solution or are traveling with children and need a larger space to accommodate them. It will have a furnished private kitchen, dining area, living space, bedroom, and bathroom to provide residents comfort and privacy. The separation from other sleeping areas and inclusion of private amenities will help to reduce stress related to the students’ housing situation which improves psychological health and encourages identity exploration (Porteous, n.d.).

The group study space is meant to serve as a great space for students to complete homework and study with their fellow residents, friends, or classmates. This area will function as a safe community space where current residents can invite other individuals over to work on group projects or study. This space will allow students to build relationships with their fellow peers outside of the classroom, creating a sense of belonging on campus. The group study lounge will

Area

The kitchen and dining area should feel warm, spacious, and inviting. This area will serve as the central hub for all of the occupant’s eating and dining needs. The incorporation of large tables and moveable furniture will help to foster a sense of community and belonging where occupants can socialize and bond over meals. Large countertops and multiples of appliances will allow the occupants to have their own individual space to make meals which will give them a sense of freedom and pride (Furber et al., 2010).

CONCEPT STATEMENT The design of The Lakeshore Mainstay serves to empower and support residents as they regain financial and housing stability. The furniture selections throughout each space maximize choice and customization for residents, giving them a strong sense of control and ownership. In mindfulness of the diverse backgrounds of residents and the benefits of trauma-informed design, there is a spectrum of privacy levels throughout the residency created through adjustable dividing walls and a variety of sleeping and movable seating arrangements. Residents will also have access to a variety of storage solutions beneath the beds in the sleeping areas and the one-bedroom apartment, which allows them to have total control over the safekeeping of their possessions and peace of mind in their security. This sense of power helps boost confidence in themselves and decrease excess stress, allowing residents to redirect more of their focus to their education. Finally, biophilic design elements add a visual connection with nature and strengthen the calming, supportive atmosphere of the space. The plant wall elements, nature-inspired design finishes, and color pallets help create a comfortable and safe place of refuge for the residents where they feel protected. The combination of these concepts creates an inclusive and trauma-sensitive environment that will help provide students both peace of mind and guidance in combating their adversities.

ADJACENCY MATRIX

Reception, food pantry, and multipurpose space should have a higher number of adjacencies to be easily accessible

Amenities such as the kitchen, laundry, and study spaces should be semiprivate with a moderate level of adjacencies

Sleeping area, one bed apartment, showers, toilets, and individual meeting rooms should have fewer adjacencies to aquire high levels of privacy
