I. Preface and Summary Executive Summary The mission of the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center (UCHSC) is to educate and train health care professionals, advance knowledge through research in the health sciences, and deliver health care and community service. With the conveyance of the former Fitzsimons Army Medical Center in Aurora, the UCHSC has the extraordinary opportunity to develop a campus that will move the institution into the country’s top tier of health science centers. This ambitious goal was outlined in the institutional master plan, approved by the University of Colorado Board of Regents in October 1998 and the Colorado Commission on Higher Education in December 1998. At the core of the Master Plan is the development of a new UCHSC campus at Fitzsimons that will be developed over the next decade. This program plan requests approval for the construction of the new UCHSC library facility at Fitzsimons.

The UCHSC is among the nation’s leading academic health science centers, but to be able to reach its goal of becoming a top tier health sciences institution, the campus must grow and flourish. The new Fitzsimons campus will allow the UCHSC to reach its goal by accommodating program growth needs through the next century. The UCHSC/University Hospital campus space inventory at 9th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard in Denver totals approximately 2.7 million gross square feet (gsf) on a 46-acre campus. The Fitzsimons campus development will involve a phased construction program totaling approximately five million square feet of new program space and associated infrastructure for the Health Sciences Center and University Hospital. Education-related space will total more than 600,000 gsf, which includes a new state-of-the-art library totaling approximately 116,000 gross square feet. As the only comprehensive health sciences library in the state of Colorado, the current UCHSC Denison Library is the library of record and the last recourse for biomedical materials unavailable elsewhere in the region. Today, nearly 325,000 users rely annually on the Denison Memorial Library to provide vital, up-to-the-minute information for patient care and research, personalized assistance in tapping knowledge sources, and a diverse collection recording the scholarly record of the health sciences. The aging facilities and inadequate physical plant at the 9th and Colorado campus site are significant obstacles to the continued success of the academic, research, and clinical programs at the UCHSC. The current space allocated for the Denison Library program is inadequate to support changes in curricula, teaching, technology, and research. Although Denison Library spaces have been partially renovated in recent years, the renovations merely allow UCHSC to compete in the health profession education, research, and clinical care marketplaces. The current Denison Library’s area of 48,000 assignable square feet (asf) is cramped; its learning tools are out of date; its study areas do not accommodate collaborative learning; staff now work in small and inappropriate spaces; and the growing collection of periodicals and books has been accommodated by reducing the number of reader seats. The UCHSC aspires to provide its campus community and citizens of Colorado with a state-of-the-art health sciences library at Fitzsimons.

The University of Colorado Health Sciences Center Master Plan provides a vision for the new learning environment at Fitzsimons, which includes the library and its services. The vision emphasizes that for UCHSC to maintain and enhance its ongoing commitment to form and reform educational programs that respond to health workforce needs, the library must be continuously responsive, dynamic, evaluation-conscious and future-oriented. The success of this goal depends in large part on effective use of the appropriate evolving information technologies and other learning methods. The new library will be the focal point to access information from emerging technologies. The library will be the hub of knowledge at Fitzsimons linking the critical components that comprise the institution’s mission. It

will embody the new campus’ vision for its physical facilities by integrating the academic, research and clinical endeavors of the institution. The library project will consist of the construction of a new 116,000 gross square foot(76,972 assignable square feet (asf) facility to house the current Denison Library programs that will be relocated from the existing facility at 9th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard campus site. As now envisioned, the new library will be a four level facility sited immediately to the north of the Administration Building (Building 500). In addition to administrative space (2,155 asf), circulation space (2,320 asf), and general space (8,320 asf), the new facility will contain space for the learning resource center (2,860 asf), reference services (2,550 asf), resources services (1,210 asf), systems-databases (3,775 asf), material storage (23,607 asf), education and health informatics (2,945 asf), information access and study space (19,530 asf), the drug information center (2,330 asf), the History of Medicine collection (2,950 asf), and specialized building support space (2,420 asf). Specific highlights of the new library will include: 1) open, quiet study areas for comfortable reader seating; 2) small group study rooms for collaborative learning; 3) stacks (meeting Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines) that will accommodate print materials more efficiently; 4) an open, circulating collection of books and bound journals, special collections and archives, reference collections and current journals; 5) wireless and Personal Data Assistant (PDA) technology that will allow computer laptops and other portable devices to be used throughout the facility; 6) adequate, well-designed and user-accessible staff space; and, 7) cutting-edge graphic and virtual reality technology. The total project budget for the design and construction of the library facility is estimated to total $35 million. The sources of the funds for the entire project will be $20.25 million in state capital construction funds, $9.75 million in Fitzsimons trust funds, and $5.0 million in University cash funds. The design of the project will commence following state legislative authorization in July 2002. Construction will begin one year later, with the project tentatively scheduled for completion in December 2004. Program Plan Process The planning process used to develop this program plan involved numerous University personnel and consultants. Each person was able to contribute their expertise through multiple meetings, worksessions, on-site research, specific studies, experience, and other general planning practices. This program plan is a result of the valuable input gathered from all those involved and is considered to be the best solution for the relocation of the Denison Library to the Fitzsimons campus. A brief description of the process follows. Visioning and Preplanning: The conceptual foundation for the new library began with the visioning process for development of Fitzsimons and the way programs would be recast in this new environment. In the Denison Library administrators began building a Library Council, an advisory board of influential and diverse individuals who could encouraged the use of a consultant to help define the strategic decisions requserved at Fitzsimons; and in March of 2001 DEGW Architects and ConsultaAppendix 7.02) that reflected a new vision for the library.

“The UCHSC library at Fitzsimons will link people, trustworsupport of effective learning, quality health care, and the latest

campus-wide UCHSC’s spring of 2000 Leadership

guide the broad planning for the facility. The Council ired in rethinking the mission and mix of user populations nts produced a briefing document (reproduced as

thy biomedical knowledge and technology in research.”

Following receipt of the DEGW strategic briefing, the campus began a formal process to create this program plan.Initial meetings started with facilities personnel to perform pre-programming requirements. A planning process wasthen developed for the project to assure consistency during the planning phase. Concurrently, investigations of thebuildings and site allowed the consulting team to gain familiarization with the existing Denison facility and libraryoperation, as well as its new site at Fitzsimons. This phase also included gathering initial facilities information andspace data.

Program Information:The consultants and at least one member of the planning committee met with all appropriate library faculty and staffto develop complete understanding of the programs. Discussion of current and future operational issues such aslibrary service strategies, material storage issues, teaching methodologies, program trends, logistical problems, andany program deficiencies was included. Enrollment trends and material acquisition rates were developed consistentto that which has been established with CCHE.

Develop Facilities Needs:This phase took the program data and developed facilities needs from that information. Using the current andprojected enrollment, faculty and staff projections, space needs were developed based upon actual requirements – aswell as acquisition rates and new library functions to perform the various functions of the library. Discussionsaround actual program delivery were then conceptualized into space needs to “check” the traditional “statistical”planning done previously. Space relationships were then defined. Bubble diagrams and space description sheetshelped describe how the various programs and spaces work together. Any unique conditions, special spaces, andequipment were also determined. Finally, space and equipment needs were summarized.

Conceptual Design:When the planning team completed thefacilities needs process, solutions werestudied as to how the spaces should be placedin order to begin the actual layout of the newfacility. Various options were developed andtested. Relationships with existing programsand planned programs at Fitzsimons helpedshape the proposed solution. Various worksessions provided valuable input and buy-infor the conceptual plan.

Project Description:All the variables described above were thenassembled to begin to describe the scope of workproject scope was then developed along with proArchitectural, structural, mechanical and electricadeveloping the project’s concept solution.

Implementation: With the help of the University, a funding plan anvision statements for the new UCHSC Library atprepared during the Spring of 2001 for submittal anticipated to be received by May 2002 with a sc

II. Program Information

It should be noted that this section describes both existing conditions and the ongoing development of a world-classhealth sciences center at Fitzsimons. It is the latter, however, that drives this program plan and compels constructionof a new library.

Description of Program

University of Colorado Health Sciences Center:One of four campuses of the University of Colorado system, the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center(UCHSC) campus is governed by the Board of Regents and headed by a chancellor. Located in the residential heartof Denver, the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center encompasses the Graduate School and the Schools ofMedicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Pharmacy. Its widely renowned cluster of health sciences institutions includestwo teaching hospitals (University of Colorado Hospital and Colorado Psychiatric Health), the NCI-designatedUniversity of Colorado Cancer Center, and a constellation of research and treatment institutions listed among themost prestigious in the country.

More than 11,000 people – patients and their families, students, faculty, staff, and visitors from all over the world –stream in and out of UCHSC buildings every day. Students at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Centerenroll in undergraduate, graduate and post graduate education programs that offer emphases on basic and clinicalstudies, individual and community health programs, creative and preventive health practices as well as individualand team efforts. One of the buildings with the highest number of daily visitors is the library.

The University of Colorado Health Sciences Center is the major health research base in Colorado, annuallyattracting more than $200 million in research and training grants and contracts that advance the knowledge ofbiomedical sciences through basic and applied research.

Denison Memorial Library:Denison Memorial Library is the primary source of health sciences information for the University of ColoradoHealth Sciences Center. To support the campus mission, the library collects and/or provides access to materialsrelated to dentistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and selected allied health disciplines, basic life sciences, and otherhealth sciences disciplines represented on the campus.

Within constraints of restricted funding, the library provides resources including scholarly books and journals, majorindexing and abstracting tools, reference materials, audiovisual media, and electronic resources, to support UCHSCcurricula, dissertation preparation, independent research, and clinical practice.

The library provides resources at the instructional support and research levels. In general, resources added to thecollection are appropriate for individuals studying at a graduate level or above, health care practitioners, and/orresearch professionals. Undergraduate level materials are not acquired, except for UCHSC programs that offerbaccalaureate degrees.

The library strives to provide adequate coverage in the areas of dentistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, selectedallied health disciplines, and the basic life sciences. As the only academic health sciences library in Colorado,Denison Library collects materials published by state health related agencies that are relevant to the needs ofUCHSC personnel. The library is not a depository for U.S. government publications, but selectively acquiresdocuments issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and other U.S. government documents thatare directly related to the health sciences.


June 1, 2001 7

The library maintains copies of master’s theses from the UCHSC school of nursing and dissertations for theUCHSC schools of medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and the graduate school. Dissertations and theses fromother institutions are not purchased. Books published by UCHSC faculty are acquired, as funds allow. Thelibrary is not funded to purchase rare, historical health sciences materials. These items are acquired onlythrough donations.

The following special collections are unique resources at Denison Library:

• Amesse Leisure Reading Collection – The small Amesse Collection is named for three generationsof Amesse family physicians. It includes current novels, biographies, non-fiction, and a selectionof magazines and newspapers. The collection provides a quiet diversion from the hectic world ofmedicine.

• Diversity Corner – The purpose of the Diversity Corner is to promote multicultural awareness andincrease sensitivity to racial, cultural, ethnic, and gender issues. The collection contains over 300fiction and non-fiction books and audiovisuals.

• Florence G. Strauss Complementary and Indigenous Medicine Collection – This growingcollection, supported by the Strauss Endowment, offers books, journals, and audiovisual resourcesrelated to complementary and alternative therapies from around the world. These resourcesprovide an opportunity to learn about different healing traditions, practices, and attitudes towardhealth and illness.

• Isabelle T. Anderson Library Science Collection – The small Isabelle T. Anderson Collection is aproject of the Education Committee of the Colorado Council of Medical Librarians. It containsinformation of interest to library professionals.

• Learning Resources Center Collection – A variety of health sciences audiovisual and computerresources are provided for lecture support and self-instruction by UCHSC faculty, staff, andstudents. Included in the collection are atlases, audiocassettes, slide sets, videocassettes,videodisks, CD-ROM’s, applications software, and instructional software.

• Reference Collection – The library maintains a non-circulating reference collection of print andelectronic resources to respond efficiently to requests for brief, factual information. Materialsinclude almanacs, bibliographies, biographies, core health science textbooks, dictionaries,directories, encyclopedias, indexes an abstracts, legal resources, statistical publications, and stylemanuals.

• Reserve Collection – Books, audiovisual media, and photocopies of journal articles may bedesigned for the reserve collection by a USHSC instructor or Denison Library staff member.These materials do not circulate but are checked out for use in the library.

• Waring (History of the Health Sciences) Collection – The Waring Collection includes modernimprints on the history of medicine and the health sciences, and rare medical books. It is namedafter James J. Waring, M.D., the first full-time Professor of Medicine at the University ofColorado School of Medicine.

Interlibrary Loan allows Denison Library staff to supplement the library’s permanent collection byobtaining copies and/or loans of items not available at Denison for library clients. Electronic interlibraryloan systems are used to obtain items needed by Denison clients and to extend the library’s resources toresearchers and users from other institutions.

Denison Library is one of five major University of Colorado libraries. The five libraries include theUniversity Libraries at the University of Colorado at Boulder, the Law Library at the University ofColorado at Boulder, the Kraemer Library at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, and AurariaLibrary at the University of Colorado at Denver. The university libraries are Denison’s primary resourcefor non-health sciences materials, especially basic sciences, behavioral sciences, and social sciences. Inturn, Denison Library is the primary source of health science materials for all university libraries.Additionally, by extending resources among the group through interlibrary loans, the university librariescollaborate on joint purchases of electronic products.

Denison Library is a member of the Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries. Alliance member librariescollaborate to acquire electronic products through group purchasing arrangements.

History, Role & Mission, Unique Program(s)

UCHSC:The University of Colorado Health Sciences Center is a public higher education institution and the onlyacademic health center in the State of Colorado and the Rocky Mountain Region. It is one of fourcampuses of the University of Colorado (CU) governed by the University of Colorado Board of Regents.

The UCHSC encompasses the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Pharmacy, the GraduateSchool, Colorado Psychiatric Hospital, University of Colorado Hospital Authority (UH), and variousrelated affiliated institutions. Several other health sciences institutions supporting the UCHSC include theBarbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes, the C. Henry Kempe National Center for the Prevention andTreatment of Child Abuse and Neglect, the John F. Kennedy Child Development Center, the UniversityPhysicians, Inc. (UPI), the Webb-Waring Institute, and the Eleanor Roosevelt Institute for CancerResearch.

With the three-part mission of education, research, and service, both clinical and academic, the campusserves as a hub of a broad network for health care delivery. These activities contribute to the overallmission of the campus – to improve human health. The University of Colorado Health Sciences Center hasachieved a national and international reputation for excellence in teaching, service, and research and is trulya unique regional and state resource.

The current mission statement for the campus was originally drafted in the late 1970s. Since that time, thestatement has been regularly updated through consultative processes. The campus’ mission statement isdescribed in full below.

The UCHSC Mission Statement:The mission statement of the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center (UCHSC) reflects the mainpurposes of the institution, that are: (1) the education of health professionals; (2) the delivery of both healthcare and community service; and (3) the advancement of knowledge through research in the healthsciences. The detailed mission statement for the campus is as follows:

• UCHSC offers programs and role models for the undergraduate, graduate and postgraduateeducation, and training of professional health practitioners. The programs reflect a balancedintegration of the basic and clinical sciences, individual and community health problems, curativeand preventive health practices, and individual and team efforts. The UCHSC develops andmaintains educational and training opportunities for continuing education of practicing healthprofessionals in the state through educational programs.

• UCHSC directly provides health care to patients at University of Colorado Hospital Authority,Colorado Psychiatric Hospital, the Children’s Diagnostic Center and the Dental Clinic, as well asat several campus affiliates. The University of Colorado Hospital Authority has a responsibility toprovide health care to many Colorado residents who are financially unable to secure such hospitalcare elsewhere. Health care services are comprehensive, ranging from first contact (primary) careto highly specialized (tertiary and quaternary) care. The health care services also serve as afoundation for teaching and research activities.

• UCHSC advances health knowledge through basic and applied research, functioning as the majorhealth-related research base in the state. UCHSC maintains high standards regarding humansubjects throughout its research activities and ensures that any protocols used are intended tobenefit both the individual and mankind.


June 1, 2001 9

• UCHSC is an integral part of the University of Colorado’s multi-campus educational system. Thecenter is also a major technical and professional resource for other institutions in the RockyMountain Region dealing with health issues. The UCHSC communicates with manyconstituencies, including the administration, faculty, and staff at other campuses and schools,alumni, professional and civic groups, foundations, governmental representatives and agencies,and the public.

• UCHSC supports its educational, health care, research and external affairs programs by servicesaimed at achieving coordinated development, efficient and effective resource management, timelyand appropriate informational exchanges, and programmatic accountability. The center alsosupports its programs by maintaining a safe, secure, and pleasant environment for its patients andpersonnel, while upholding all aspects of diversity as a necessary condition to achieving theinstitution’s stated objectives and mission.

Denison Memorial Library:The mission of Denison Memorial Library is to support the University of Colorado Health Sciences Centerin advancing education, research, patient care, and community service.

Denison Memorial Library is a gateway to the world’s biomedical information, assisting the University ofColorado Health Sciences Center in accomplishing its missions and goals in education, research, patientcare, and community service. The information needs of UCHSC is the library’s paramount concern. Inaddition, within the constraints of limited funding, the library serves state and regional clients. The staff ofDenison Memorial Library strives for the highest quality of service as access is enhanced to the literature ofthe health sciences. The library provides instructional opportunities to acquire skills in information retrievaland management, acquires a specialized collection of print and electronic resources, and obtains remoteinformation in a rapid and cost-effective manner. Denison delivers data, information, and knowledge tolocal and remote users through the use of state-of-the art technology, especially health care providers inrural Colorado. Library faculty focuses on the practice of information service and teaching, with limitedtime for research activities.

Library history and current facility:Denison Memorial Library has been an essential part of the University of Colorado Health SciencesCenter’s history and development. The library was started with an endowment made by Ella StrongDenison, whose husband, Dr. Charles Denison, was an early Colorado physician and Professor of ChestDiseases and Climatology at the University of Denver, 1881-1885. Mrs. Denison donated funds in 1924for “The Charles Denison, M.D., Memorial Library.” The funds made it possible to furnish a library on thesecond floor of the School of Medicine. She also gave funds annually to purchase journal subscriptions.The library opened with 7,500 books and soon outgrew its quarters. In 1935, Mrs. Denison donated morethan $90,000 to build a new library building and badly needed auditorium which were completed in 1937.The library has continued to flourish, requiring new additions in 1962 and 1977.

Nearly 10 years ago, the UCHSC campus in Denver recognized that Denison was inadequate to meet itsusers’ changing needs. The Campus Center program plan, which was approved by the Board of Regentsand the CCHE in 1993, included a newly designed 120,000 gross square foot (gsf) library for the UCHSC’sDenver campus. That project, however, was halted when the Fitzsimons opportunity arose.

Denison Library’s area of 48,000 asf is cramped, and its study areas do not accommodate collaborativelearning. Staff is working in awkward and inadequate spaces, and in recent years the growing collection ofperiodicals and books has been accommodated by reducing the number of reader seats. Lack of space,inadequate information/study facilities, and inflexibility to meet changing educational needs have resultedin the institution receiving negative accreditation remarks. Although the library recently has alleviatedsome of its most critical deficiencies, these were intended only as a stop-gap measure until the campuscould build a state-of-the-art health sciences library at Fitzsimons.


June 1, 2001

Through IMPULSE, the library’s online catalog, users can locate audiovisuals, periodicals and books in thelibrary. In addition, the library staff creates linkages to thousands of online databases and journalsavailable via the World Wide Web. Multimedia teaching graphics and real-time video are alreadyaccessible to enhance the learning process in Denison Library, but the current facility lacks space tointroduce the latest technologies. The library has become the home for student email instruction andsupport along with allowing them to learn clinical techniques and master new skills through multimediatechnologies. Although the library also plays a key role in teaching information management skills, it hasnumerous limitations that complicate the ability of students and faculty to utilize the most recentinstructional software, adapt curriculum to new technologies, and, in general, enhance life-long learning.

Denison Memorial Library is a central point or home where many students and faculty conduct researchand study. Unfortunately, faculty and student demand exceeds the available seating. Adequate study spacejust does not currently exist. When the School of Pharmacy moved from the Boulder campus in 1992,nearly 500 new users arrived with no corresponding increase in library study space. The curriculum forhealth sciences students has changed to allow them to work in small groups, a learning technique thatresults in better retention of information and excellent professional judgment. Denison Library has a verysmall number of rooms where groups can discuss collaborative learning projects while consultinginformation resources. According to Colorado Commission on Higher Education standards, the librarynow has only 50% of the seating that should be available, and each year the library sees more users walkthrough its doors. Visitors now exceed 325,000 users per year, and recent studies and audits confirm thisnumber should double with the completion of a new facility.

The New Library at Fitzsimons – a broader vision:The new Fitzsimons library will be a signature building facing the northern side of the campus. Theplanned building will meet the more intensive needs of Fitzsimons development by growing from 48,800asf to 76,972 asf, at an estimated cost of $35 million.

“Today’s information technology isreinventing the ways in which we learn,work, and even think. But, technologytools do not replace people or theirinteraction.”

The new library will be the hub of knowledge atFitzsimons, linking critical components that comprisethe institution’s mission and serving as one of threemajor telecommunications switching points on thecampus. The library will support the new campusvision of an environment where advanced informationtechnologies are used by all personnel to conduct theessential daily activities of learning, research andclinical care. The scope of the future library print andelectronic collection will cover medicine, dentistry,nursing, pharmacy and such allied health subjects asdental hygiene, physical therapy and medicaltechnology. Basic science subjects such asbiochemistry, microbiology, immunology, cellular andstructural biology, biometrics, biophysics, genetics andpharmacology will be collected to support campusgraduate study and as a basis for the concepts,methodologies and data useful in health care andhealth care research.

“Information access in a heartbeat.”

The library will continue to be the primary health information provider to the Health Sciences Centerfaculty, students, staff and outside community. At the new library, users will be able to access up-to-the-minute information from online journals or databases from computers at the library, from their laptopcomputers at docking outlets throughout the facility, and from their office and home computers. Users alsowill have access to expert librarians, who are able to direct them to the best sources of reliable knowledgeand train users to search through the vast quantities of data on the Information Superhighway. The serversand network connections in the new library will provide an organized gateway to knowledge wherever itexists. With one click of a computer mouse, users will connect instantly to slides, videos or taped lectures.Or, by walking into the new virtual classroom they can interact with three-dimensional simulations andcutting-edge learning technologies.

The library will develop new partners at Fitzsimons to enhance patient education. More than one-fifth ofDenison Library’s present walk-in users come from off campus in their search for personal healthinformation. The new library facility will continue to play a major new role in serving Coloradoans. Incooperation with the Anschutz Center for Advanced Medicine, patient education information will beavailable to assist consumers in the community in making sound health care decisions. The library also willcontinue to service the information needs of independent health practitioners throughout the Denvermetropolitan area, the state of Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region. In addition, service to emergingbiotechnology firms at Fitzsimons will link the library with business and industry.

Recent advances in health care have created a new discipline that marries medicine with computer science.This new field, called health informatics, allows health providers to tap the incredible power of computingto study and solve health problems. Informatics reaches across all the health professions. Because thisemerging discipline requires fast response from computers and telecommunication networks, the campuswill house a new multi-disciplinary informatics center in the library, serving as one of three main digitalhubs for the exchange of electronic information. Programming the biomedical library of the future:In keeping with the revolutionary approaches to learning, research and health care at Fitzsimons, the newlibrary departs from the traditional and time-honored concept of a building that warehouses printcollections. Just as the University of Colorado Hospital redesigned its facility to be centered around andresponsive to the patient, so the new library begins by emphasizing user services and the space requiredthat fulfill its mission.

“The library is seen as a link between people and knowledge in this technology-intensiveera, helping to overcome barriers, meeting needs for information and providing navigationassistance.”

“Information Access and Study” space will occupy over 30,000 gsf in the building, all designed to meetdemands for computer access and interaction in small learning groups, the hallmark of how students andfaculty learn and work today. Reader seating will include a mix of open tables, stations wired for networkaccess, quiet individual spaces, and options for individuals to work collaboratively. High-end computerstations will allow users to tap multimedia resources and other computing-intensive tools that wouldoverpower the limited capacity of student or home PCs.

Due to the complexities of using modern information technologies, current campus personnel stream intothe library on a daily basis to receive individual assistance in tapping the digital world. Today andtomorrow, the library faculty and staff play an essential role in linking users with the information theyrequire, reducing the barrier technology can impose. The trend in academic health sciences centers is forusers to require both dedicated public computers as well as options for linking personal computers to thecampus network, either with physical plugs or via wireless technology. The new library will support all ofthese applications.


June 1, 2001 12

Library services will be delivered to users by departments organized and located around the concept of userconvenience, with the first floor emphasizing public service support from Circulation, Reference, and the DrugInformation Center (DIC). The DIC is a part of the School of Pharmacy purposely located in the library because ofits reliance on up-to-the-minute drug information sources and its complementary mission in dispensingpharmaceutical information to campus personnel and biotechnology firms.

On the second floor user space will also include the “Learning Resources Center” at approximately 4,000 gsf and the“Education/Health Informatics” area with another 4,500 gsf. Both of these spaces highlight support of students withthe latest learning technologies, including the rapidly developing three-dimensional simulations and othereducational technologies created by the UCHSC Center for Human Simulation and complimentary programsdeveloped by the National Library of Medicine. The library will feature a virtual reality room that allows users tointeract with these sophisticated learning programs in real-time and in 3D.

“Material Storage”space is only 34,000 gsf, decreased from the amount found in traditional libraries because onethird of the print collection will be housed in the more cost- and space-efficient Preservation and Access ServiceCenter for Colorado Academic Libraries (PASCAL) facility already operating at Fitzsimons under the direction ofDenison Library staff. PASCAL is designed to store research materials that receive limited usage, and it is notefficient to store more highly demanded volumes in this facility. Projections for future space needs have beenreduced to reflect expectations that print acquisitions will continually decline as more and more information isreleased in electronic format. Journals will be located on the third floor of the new library in stack ranges that canbe re-purposed as reader stations or for other uses as the library progresses further in re-balancing print with digitalresources, and as campus needs change. In traditional health sciences libraries the print journals are often located ona lower floor, but this program plan reflects an emphasis on use of electronic journals by the time the facility opens.Print books and special collections will be located on the top floor along with administrative offices.

Unique Programs:As the only comprehensive health sciences library in the state of Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region, DenisonLibrary provides unique collections and programs drawn upon by all higher education institutions in the state.Health sciences libraries share many characteristics with general academic libraries, but there are also significantdifferences related to the mission of a health sciences campus.

People who wish to educate themselves about a particular condition or appropriate therapy will have the services ofa Consumer Health Center. Here they will be directed to appropriate print resources, databases, and reliableinformation from the Internet. Because the new library at Fitzsimons will have a greater presence in the community,this program is expected to face increasing demand.

Denison’s Outreach Program provides assistance to rural health educators, distant students, and Colorado healthprofessionals who wish to obtain information necessary for high quality academic performance or clinical decision-making. This information support is often not available to users in their local areas, and the library serves as acentral resource to offer training opportunities or for answering inquiries at any time of the day or night.

The Research Support Service provides customized library services for UCHSC researchers, including advice onadvanced strategies for searching complex information technologies, guidance in selection of appropriate electronicdatabases and systems, and referrals to additional sources of information. This service will be closely integrated intoresearch and educational programs located in the new research complex at Fitzsimons.

Instruction in Health Informatics competencies is becoming a part of each professional school curriculum.Librarians teach UCHSC faculty and students basic and advanced strategies for databases and Internet searching,

database structure, indexing and vocabulary control, and application of evidence-based health care practice.

The Center for Emerging Information Technology’s (CEIT) mission is to provide cutting edge technology andexpertise for educational project development. Initial projects will include building a collection of streaming videoand construction of a multimedia database that supports the educational mission of the University of ColoradoHealth Sciences Center.

MedConnect is a cooperative program whereby nine Denver hospital libraries contribute their library holdings to theDenison Library Impulse online catalog. This affords Denison Library clients the opportunity to locate onlinematerials that are available in other local medical collections.

As the major health sciences information resource in the state of Colorado, Denison Library’s Interlibrary Loan andDocument Delivery Program provided over 10,000 loans to other Colorado libraries in FY 1999/00.

Denison Library has a unique special collection of over 5,000 books in the history of medical sciences, including anumber of rare books that are not available elsewhere in the state or region.

The Florence G. Strauss Complementary and Indigenous Medicine Collection specializes in books and audiovisualmaterials on various alternative therapies and indigenous health care practices. The collection is growing rapidlyand includes some of the most in-demand titles in the entire print collection.

Program Needs and Trends

Significant factors that shaped the Program Plan and conceptual building solution are as follows:

• Technology requirements and adjacency with the types of sequencing and entering a building all becomeimportant.

• Proposed library has 50% more area than Denison.• There is a growing student need for small group study “hi-tech work centers” as well as different

carrel/reading table design with computer outlets, task-lighting and at certain locations, wirelesstechnology.

• Today’s science libraries need more user seating than previously thought.• A satellite facility will remain at 9th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard.• Due to a transition from print to electronic media, space requirements for material storage must be balanced

with an ever-increasing need for IT/electronic media support.• The user split is 20% public walk-in traffic to 80% medical center students and faculty. It is anticipated

that unaffiliated visitors will increase even more as the library relocates to Fitzsimons, within the Auroracommunity.

• The anticipated bulk of reference use will continue to be students and faculty who are coming into thelibrary.

• Denison remains the prime Colorado medical library while serving a broader population outside of thestate. It is isolated within the Rocky Mountain West, because of its position between Omaha and Salt LakeCity and between Wyoming and Arizona. There is not another significant health science library collectionwithin this region.

• Denison has more demand for library faculty involvement with informatics than there are good,knowledgeable staff to fill this need.

• The library has become a central point of expertise in trying to help interface between people andtechnology and where there is a need to navigate links with electronic information. This trend willcontinue into the future indefinitely.


June 1, 2001 14

• Denison will provide teaching skills through the curriculum and one-on-one assistance with walk-in usersat the library. This prime educational role is becoming a major focus for the faculty.

It is projected that the University will increase its enrollment in the next five to ten years to 2,800 students. Thelibrary expansion will meet the growing information needs of students and faculty by expanding its collections,providing greater access to electronic databases, providing global retrieval of materials, and increasing instructionspace.

The major force behind construction of a new facility for the Denison Library is the relocation of the entireUniversity of Colorado Health Sciences Center. In addition, there is a need to respond to new demands forinformational services and an expanded mission that cannot be met at the existing location.

Currently, Denison Library experiences approximately 900 visitors per day and almost 325,000 annually. Patronscome for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, refuge for study, obtaining materials, seeking assistancewith information access, research, group interaction and study, presentation or project development, etc. No matterwhat the reason, patrons are seeking additional levels of service. Libraries of today are not just warehouses; they arethe critical link connecting patrons with the information they need and a vital player in what many refer to as the“Information Age.”

New services have put additional pressures on library programs. While new technologies may improve efficiencyfor some programs, they demand additional time, resources, and facilities for libraries. Teaching a student how toaccess today’s nearly unlimited resources, manipulate data sets, present multi-media presentations, shareinformation, perform research, and prepare communications are just some examples of the new trends in libraryservices. Each and every trend is causing the need for additional space as well. Contrary to the perception thattechnology is saving space, the average amount of space needed per patron is on the rise due to constantly changingtechnology, improved education, and demand for new services.

Relationship to Academic or Institutional Strategic Plan(s)

Relation to Other Programs/Agencies:In the concept of a new advanced learning environment at Fitzsimons, some educational space will be distributedthroughout the campus, integrated with research and clinical space, while reflecting learner-centered approaches –long a hallmark of library service. The research sector and biotech park adjacent to the campus will encourage newopportunities for public/private partnerships and lead to new knowledge, for which the library can provide timely,effective access and support. Clinical facilities will be developed to reflect new approaches in health care, andinformation services professionals from the library are important participants in clinical teams searching andevaluating the latest evidence to support team decisions. Innovation in education, research and clinical care will becomplemented by the library’s vision of innovation in knowledge management, delivery and learning.

The UCHSC library is actively developing its services for consumer health. It has just created a consumer healthlibrarian position in conjunction with the National Network of Libraries of Medicine and is initiating other newprograms. The School of Nursing is also a strong advocate for supporting consumer health, and the University ofColorado Hospital is increasingly involved in providing information to its patients. In the future, the general publicwill be able to access some of the library’s resources via the Internet, some through their local libraries, atinformation centers on the Fitzsimons campus, and by walking into the UCHSC library itself. The UCHSC library’sintent is to work with regional public library systems as well as other institutions and libraries - so that locallibrarians can provide the first line of basic public health information - while providing links to the UCHSC libraryresources when consumers need a more detailed level of information. A network of consumer health informationcenters is being created in the new ambulatory and inpatient care facilities at the Anschutz Center for Advanced

Medicine to serve patients and their relatives on campus, and these will also will refer patients to the library formore advanced inquiries.

Denison Memorial Library is the largest biomedical library in Colorado, providing essential information andservices to the UCHSC community. The library periodically reviews and updates its mission, vision statements andvalues consistent with the mission and vision of the institution. The primary purpose of the Denison Library is toassist the UCHSC in accomplishing its mission and goals in education, research, patient care and communityservice. Denison Library enhances access to the biomedical literature, provides instructional opportunities forindividuals to acquire skills in information retrieval and management, acquires a specialized collection of resources,and obtains remote materials in a rapid and cost-effective manner. The library faces many challenges in the future.Ongoing, thoughtful strategic planning coupled with imaginative mechanisms to garner support assures the librarywill be positioned to support the campus.

In June 1996, the Chancellor appointed an Information Technology Council (ITC) to create a strategic plan for thecampus and recommend policies, procedures, and standards in computing and telecommunications. The DenisonLibrary continues to play an essential role in the ITC. The ITC provides the institutional structure for planning,oversight, and evaluation of technology programs and policies. The role of the ITC in establishing technologyplanning goals for the library is especially important.

The campus ITC Strategic Plan was completed in September 1998. As a precursor to the development of the campusvision statement for the Master Plan and campus IT Strategic Plan, the ITC prepared a self-assessment in nine keyareas: academic computing, research computing, clinical computing, scholarly systems, health informatics,administrative applications, TeleHealth/TeleEducation, strategic business systems, and infrastructure/architecture.Those specific areas in which the library plays a major role include:

Support of Academic Computing:In support of the total learning environment, all schools continue to update portions of their curriculum. Campusefforts are underway in distance/distributed education, informatics, development of Internet sites, and enhancementof student computing. The UCHSC schools are currently implementing student competency requirements, facultydevelopment programs, and several models for the incorporation of technology into new learning approaches, whichare being implemented and evaluated. New learning spaces, including “smart classrooms,” are being planned forincorporation into the design of the new educational facilities at Fitzsimons. Migration towards digitized files isproviding vast new educational resources for faculty and students. The library has taken on a leadership role in thisarea.

Scholarly Systems:The range of electronic scholarly resources available to UCHSC faculty and students has expanded to include: theDenison Library’s online catalog of local holdings and linkages to remote resources, bibliographic data bases, full-text books and journals, sound and image files, numeric and other data banks, specialized knowledge data bases,patient/consumer health information tools, digitized versions of print or audiovisual materials, and instructionalcomputing programs. The library will continue moving in the direction of making all tools available across thenetwork and in adopting information standards that facilitate accomplishment of this goal.

Health Informatics:Health informatics is becoming an area of increasingly high priority at UCHSC. The discipline and issues of healthinformatics have been the focus of efforts by selected faculty members for many years. Informatics faculty continueto contribute new areas of research and are increasingly becoming critical team members of basic and appliedresearch groups. Informatics faculty in all of the UCHSC and Denison Library are involved in the establishment offaculty development programs, student competency issues, and IT infrastructure planning. The rate at whichinformatics components are integrated into the curricula across the schools is accelerating rapidly.


June 1, 2001 16

Support of TeleHealth/TeleEducation:The UCHSC recognizes that TeleHealth and TeleEducation programs have the potential to support the delivery ofhealth care in a more efficient manner that helps generate revenue for clinical programs. Several successfulprograms are in place, including a TeleHealth contract for services between the Department of Corrections, UCHSCand selected affiliates. UCHSC is committed to maintaining a core of TeleHealth services and will expand themwhere new partnerships are mutually beneficial. The library will continue to support the expanding campustelehealth and teleeducation program initiatives.

The expanding role of the Denison Library, including the vision for the new library facility at Fitzsimons, is alsointertwined into the campus 2020 vision statement that guides the continuing development of the institutional masterplan. As stated in its 2020 vision statement, the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center's paramount andtime-honored mission of education, research, patient care, and community service will continue into the nextcentury. UCHSC is a unique regional public resource because it generates new knowledge and translates thesediscoveries to superior health education and human health.

The UCHSC, in partnership with health network and affiliates, will be responsive to the community's health careneeds by educating individuals as members of interdisciplinary professional health care teams, and by preparingtomorrow's leading health scientists. Physical proximity and integral working relationships among and betweenclinicians and scientists will foster new levels of collaboration and integration. Partnerships among faculty,students, staff, affiliates, and the community will foster the development of new knowledge, and this knowledge willbe applied to the prevention and treatment of human disease and to the improvement of human health. Theinstitution also will create partnerships among faculty, students, and consumers in offering the highest quality ofhealth care, and providing access for citizens to the latest scientific findings concerning the promotion of health andthe treatment of disease.

The UCHSC will serve as an umbrella organization for superior science in the region, providing the basic andapplied health-related research technology and the intellectual capital to enhance activities of other regionaleducation, research, and industrial entities. The integration of functions in academic and clinical endeavors, set intothe new Fitzsimons campus, will foster a sense of community for faculty, students, staff, and patients. Thosefunctions and facilities will create a supportive culture that promotes the highest technological advances as well ashuman caring throughout the continuum of science and health care. The UCHSC will collaborate with and provideservices to a global community through the use of innovative technology applications in all of its missions. The newlibrary at Fitzsimons is truly an essential part of this exciting vision, a place where all personnel come together.

Existing Programmatic/Operational Deficiencies:The current Denison Library facility fails to meet campus programmatic needs in several areas. Space is notavailable to add new technology or computers to reflect the numbers required by users or in a teaching room. Thereare few areas for quiet reflection. Unmet user demand for small spaces that support collaboration has resulted ininappropriate group conversations occurring everywhere in the building, often raising noise and distraction levels tothe point where they are a constant source of irritation to other users. The library staff receives constant complaintsabout ambient noise.

Staff is forced to work in cramped spaces that do not meet CCHE guidelines restricting their ability to interact withand serve library users. Space is not available for additional staffing to meet increasing user demands. The physicallayout is confusing and creates numerous areas that users avoid because of physical discomfort due to poor air flowor temperature control. Lack of a loading dock complicates service delivery of any materials or hardware, andmovement of people or materials within the building is cumbersome and inefficient.


June 1, 2001 17

Program Alternatives

Three options were considered for this program plan, and Option 1B was selected as most efficient in meeting theprogrammatic needs of the Fitzsimons campus. They are as follows.

Option 1:Build a state-of-the-art library at Fitzsimons in conjunction with the opening of the first major educational andresearch buildings. Two sub-options came out of this, which are:

1A. Reflecting the general pattern of the new campus, decentralize library staff and services across thespecialized education, research and clinical care buildings.

Use of this option would place some resources at the greatest convenience for some users, but wouldgreatly fracture most services and collections in a way that would frustrate and confuse the majority ofusers. Most library staff and materials serve multiple users and purposes, making it impossible to divideand place them in only one of the three major campus zones.

1B. Construct a central facility near the center of Fitzsimons that can be reached by all.

This option provides a strong central library that supports the popular desire for ‘one-stop shopping’ andbrings together both the latest information technologies and the staff who can assist users in masteringthese complex tools. In an information era the library becomes a point of interface between user anddigitized knowledge, where librarians teach information competencies and enable users to locate and applywhat they seek. This is best accomplished from one landmark location.

Option 2:Serve the new campus from the present location at 9th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard.

The advent of electronic databases of full-text books and journals promises a time when the content of manytraditional publications can be tapped remotely from any physical location. However, publishers remain highlyconservative about abandoning print, and pricing often makes digital information prohibitively expensive. At thesame time, print remains the most convenient and appealing format for many purposes, meaning it will not disappearby the time the new library is operating. Programs that move to Fitzsimons would be greatly handicapped if therewere no library personnel present to facilitate users’ access to complicated technology or providing currentinformation required in making sound decisions. Students are the largest group of walk-in users of the library, andtheir needs for personal assistance, access to computers and study areas cannot be met by the limited space andfeatures of the first Education building.

Option 3:Relocate the entire print collection to PASCAL.

PASCAL provides the cheapest and most efficient storage option for research materials in limited demand. Thedesign of its shelf configuration, however, is based on the premise that items will not be requested frequently. It iscumbersome and costly to have to pull and re-shelve volumes on two-thirds of the stored materials because they arenot within convenient reach, and the aisles are not designed to accommodate multiple vehicles. Consequently, itwould be slow and expensive to retrieve and re-shelve popular materials from this facility. Operating costs wouldmake this an inefficient option.

III. Facilities Needs Total Space Requirements Space required by library services is what drives the size of the facility. A complete space analysis projects space needs to be 76,972 assignable square feet. This translates to a projected total building area of 116,000 gross square feet. The following summary outlines the projected space per program. The detailed analysis is included in Appendix Section 7.03, Library (L-Tables) and Building Space Tables. The appendix includes needs per program along with modified versions of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education “L-Tables” which projects library specific spaces. It was determined not all L-Tables were applicable or accurate enough to use for the entire analysis. Function-specific breakouts and space per program was more realistic. This was verified by the preliminary concept design results, which are included in the program plan.

“The UCHSC Library…faculty and staff will lead the region in meeting multiple needs for excellent health information and in providing the personalized assistance that enables users to tap effectively the latest electronic and print resources…As a unique Colorado resource, it will serve all residents of the West who seek to improve their health.”

- Mission statement, “Library @ Fitzsimons” October 2000

The library as proposed in the program plan responds to its central mission, expressed in the space planning and all of its component systems that have shaped the solution. Siting was selected by UCHSC to emphasize centrality of the library’s function as it will be a major informational hub for the Fitzsimons hospital facilities, educational and research institutions, and the biotech partners located on Campus.


June 1, 2001 19

A further linkage to neighboring communities will be created by the eventual access provided from the future lightrail and bus stop located at the north end (East Montview Boulevard) of Fitzsimons Commons. There will be noother resource in the Rocky Mountain region as effective as the Fitzsimons library that can serve so many diverseuser groups.

“What is the library for the next millennium? It is a place, not a virtual reality. It will includeconnections, links, access, outreach, distance learning, and education as well as books, journals,media and databases. It will be a place where students and readers can come to search forinformation or delve into the treasures of the past. It will be a place to read today’s latest medicalnews or to sit and contemplate. It must continue to support scholarship and research.”

- Bull.Med.Libr.Assoc.87(2) April 1999

Because library services are likely to continue to change and evolve over the coming decades, functional spacesmust be easily adaptable to shifting patterns of service and use as well as technological transformation. Flexibility isof primary importance in planning space for electronic resources, due to the difficulty of predicting future needs anduser demands beyond the next ten years. An academic library needs to be highly flexible, while at the same timestill performing traditional teaching and service roles.

The new Fitzsimons Library will be designed for convertibility, with intellectual and social interaction that does notimpinge on privacy. The built solution must take advantage of minimal partitions, allocating as much usable area aspossible to open space, incorporating ubiquitous telecommunications and power capabilities, while providingversatile, “smart” mechanical/electrical systems.

All floors will have access to abundant natural light (with potential natural ventilation) for study and officefunctions, expansive views looking out at all directions including the north reflecting pools and generous landscapedmall at Fitzsimons Commons. They will add to an ambience that enhances the daily experiences for both staff andusers alike. Space adjacencies have been conceptually determined with adequate areas provided for current andfuture expansion needs.

The final design of the Fitzsimons library must harmonize with and complement the original Fitzsimons hospitalbuilding (Building 500), an important landmark on the Fitzsimons campus. A secondary entrance connecting thelibrary to the south campus buildings - directly opposite the historic Building 500 - has been proposed which willcirculate through a twenty-four hour study / coffee bar area: an important amenity of the library that uniquely servesthe immediate needs of the UCHSC Campus. The primary north front entrance, facing the future FitzsimonsCommons, will eventually fulfill its intended role as a prominent gateway towards the emerging biotech researchpark and regional community access.

Site Requirements

Campus Framework:The master planned campus structure is made up of analternating framework of pedestrian and vehicularcorridors. These corridors are coordinated with theexisting and proposed underground utilities on thecampus. The proposed site for the library lies directly tothe north of the administration building or Building 500,which anchors the core of the UCHSC campus.Opposing the system of east/west pedestrian andvehicular corridors is a series of campus greens or openspace quadrangles which run north/south and serve toorganize the land use and architectural framework of thecampus.

Building 500 forms the terminus of the primary campusentry and identity axis from East Colfax Avenue. The proposed library site forms the south end of the plannedFitzsimons Commons which runs north/south from the historic Red Cross Building toward the back of Building 500.The library building would best benefit from the planned Fitzsimons Commons by orienting its primary frontentrance to the north, thereby establishing a formal and ceremonial relationship with the green.

Facing the building south would cause the building to have a very limited landscaped forecourt, and its role as anacademic anchor land use would be diminished by the tension caused due to the back of house activities associatedwith the administration building. Orienting the library’s main entry to the south would also diminish the functionand animation of the Fitzsimons Commons and would cause the entry to compete with service, loading and trashactivities. These two strong, campus core axes are therefore “back to back” and facing away from one another.Phased diagrammatic site plans and alternate for the proposed library follow this section.

Development Phasing: Although the planned long range relationship between these two buildings will support the overall master plannedframework and north entry concept, the short term access and interrelationship of these buildings will indicate ahigher desire to approach the building and enter from the south. The planned pedestrian spine running east/west justnorth of the library site will not be developed for several years after the completion of the library. The InterimDental Clinic, or Building 514, immediately north of the library site, will also need to function for several yearsprior to the final phase development of the master plan.


June 1, 2001

For these reasons a secondary, south library entrance is planned. The development of the library site shouldaccommodate this phased access approach. Particular attention will be given to the immediate interrelationshipbetween the library and Building 500 both in the short and long term. The service and trash activities of the library,Building 500, and the research and education buildings should be concentrated to the east and west of thenorthernmost portion of Building 500. The landscape and urban design of the space immediately between these twobuildings would then be of a pedestrian nature, safe from vehicular and service traffic.

In the very long term, there may be reason to connect thetwo buildings with some type of bridging element,recognizing that this would introduce security and otherservice complications. From a campus planningperspective, it is appropriate to acknowledge that thenorthernmost portions of the Campus Master Plan will berealized in the final phases and thereby increasingly activatethe placement of the library’s front entry in laterdevelopment phases. The careful consideration to the southside of the library site and its phased development shouldserve to avoid adversely effecting the interim campusfunction.

June 1, 2001 22

Service and Loading:Because of the grade change from east to west, the loading and building service dock is planned on the western sideof the rear of the building. Care should be taken to visually screen this area from the south entry to the building andthe centerline pedestrian connection to the administration building. Service vehicle entry will be from theeasternmost site access off of 19th Avenue thereby allowing the trucks to back into the loading dock and drivestraight out the western site entry off of 19th. The service drive between the east and west parking areas shouldinclude specialty pedestrian paving as a visual cue to vehicles that this is a pedestrian environment.

Bicycle Parking:Bicycle parking for the library site can be accommodated in the adjacent vehicle lots on the east or west of thelibrary or in the south pedestrian zone outside of the rear entrance. Ample numbers of bike racks should be plannedto accommodate at least 50 bicycles and should be associated with designated campus-wide bicycle routes.

Utilities:The campus master plan identifies a phased utilities development scenario and addresses the routing and timing ofinfrastructure development. The site is well served on three sides with all necessary utilities and communications.East 19th Avenue serves as a campus wide utility corridor and the open space pedestrian linkages directly to the eastand west of the library expansion sites are also primary utility corridors. Alignment adjustments to the existingsteam distribution line north of the library will be necessary to provide the library’s intended alignment along thepedestrian spine north of the entry.

Landscaping:Landscaping, landscape materials selections, and outdoor lighting for the library site are to be developed in supportof and in coordination with the UCHSC Landscape Master Plan. The library site is interwoven into the fabric andpatterns of the campus landscape theme, character and urban design framework. Every effort should be made topreserve existing mature trees and enhance and integrate the patterns established within surrounding developmentprojects.

Key to the success of the library site is the ultimate development of the Fitzsimons Commons onto which the libraryfronts. Although this area is planned to include a significant retention pond, the Commons should be designed toprovide passive outdoor use for reading, outdoor eating, strolling or waterside interaction and small group meeting.The program diagram indicates paired, geometrically shaped ponds, although a single pond on axis to the librarymay serve as well. Costs for this work are not included in the Phase 1 budgetary request for the library.

Topography: Given the flat nature of the campus as a whole, the library should be placed vertically so as not to be affected bypotential high water storm events. The proximity of the retention ponds and the lack of significant topographyindicate the need for detailed study of the building’s vertical layout and placement. In all cases positive drainageaway from the library structure must be ensured.

Alternate Development Framework:As an alternate, the campus master development plan may address the notion of terminating vehicle traffic on 19th

Avenue at either side of Building 500. This idea, if feasible from an overall campus circulation standpoint, wouldfurther support the pedestrian connectivity between the library and the administration building. Eliminating vehicleand service traffic from the north of Building 500 to the south library entry would potentially ease the “back ofhouse” impact of these two buildings while resolving the tension between the opposing cross-campus axialrelationships. A diagrammatic site plan of this alternative follows this section. Costs for this work are not includedin the Phase 1 budgetary request for the library.

Equipment Requirements

“Today’s information technology is reinventing the ways in which we learn, work, and eventhink…And that’s where librarians are rising to the challenge of augmenting access to digitalresources, imparting technological competencies, and giving personalized guidance in findingscattered kernels of knowledge in a vast universe of data.”

Special equipment needs associated with this project include the acquisition of technology for instructional spaceswithin the new library. Teleconferencing, information access and study areas will require new technologies that willbe available throughout the Fitzsimons campus allowing higher utilization rates and improved teachingmethodologies. High-tech rooms will need to be capable of being “smart” classrooms when the building opens.These rooms need to be equipped with a combination of new projection and sound systems, internet and campusnetwork access, computer ports for lap top connection, lighting control, video/data jacks, high tech lecterns withVCR and disk capabilities, and possibly one or two document cameras.

It is assumed that approximately 8.7% of the total project cost of this facility will be allocated to furnishings andequipment. The estimated construction cost of $35,000,000 includes fixed equipment such as shelving, circulationand reference desks. The estimated cost of conventional furnishings and equipment will be $4,010,000. Includedunder the category of conventional library furnishings and equipment are user and staff computer workstations,printers, scanners, photocopiers, digitizing workstations, data drops/electrical outlets, wired furniture, circulationequipment, and security equipment.

The furnishings and equipment for the virtual environment and simulations facility are not considered conventional,however, and thus could add an addition of $1.2 million to the cost of the project for these facilities. This additionalcost is included in the fundraising campaign and is not part of the capital construction request from the State ofColorado.

A space in the new library will be constructed in order to accommodate a virtual reality studio with the followingminimum specifications: a 10x10x10 foot structure that sits in a 35x25x13 foot darkened room with high resolution,3-D graphics video and audio capabilities, rear projected screen walls, and a front-projected floor.

This studio will also include the requisite workstations, applications software, networking software, and virtualreality (VR) input/output devices as another set of minimums. There are at least six VR companies who marketcomplete studios, and groundbreaking work on VR studio design and applications research is currently underway atthe University of Illinois Electronic Visualization Laboratory and similar laboratories at the University of Michiganand University of Washington. Thus, by the time of construction, selection on studio design can be made on thebasis of best practice. See Appendix 7.10, IS Design Requirements for UCHSC standards that apply totelecommunications for this project.

General Project Description/Scope of Work

Master Plan Vision Themes:

“Design the library as a place to think…”

The conceptual site, architectural and engineeringsolutions proposed herein are responding to currentprogram standards and infrastructure needs of the libraryat Fitzsimons and how it can best serve its constituents:the UCHSC staff, patients, students, biotech researchpartners and the community at large. Each component ofdesign, as presented in the following summaries, is part ofan overall matrix which will successfully express andenhance the library’s mission, already clearly defined in previ

online catalog, the Internet and other electronic resources; a very small print collection of essential referencematerials not available in digital format; a small print reserve collection to support circular assignments; and dailycourier service for materials delivery between campuses. Other space in the building could be re-purposed or shutdown temporarily. It is assumed that the necessary furniture and computers would be retained, with replacementsbeing part of the program budget for the new building. One issue that would need to be dealt with at this site, is thelack of handicapped accessible toilets on the first floor. Building remediation at the Denison site is not included inthe budget for the new Fitzsimons library.

Site Issues:For scope of work regarding site design, seePart III, Site Requirements section of theProgram Plan.

Architectural Issues:State-of-the-art library design, powerful siteinfluences, campus needs and an ability toexpand help shape the building footprint thatultimately meets Phase II space requirementsthrough FY2019/20. The program plansolution addresses Phase I building space andpreliminary library departmental adjacencies. The structure consists of four floors of approximately 26,000 grosssquare feet each, plus a partial usable basement and mechanical penthouse.

Library issues that influenced the internal workings of conceptual floor plans, include:

• New ways of working – spaces that can accommodate new functions and patterns of use;• Virtual reference – mobile technologies and universal network access;• 24/7 service – a computing laboratory (study area) that is open 24 hours, seven days a week (also serving as

a secondary access into the library);• Managing the right balance of resources – planning for the appropriate mix of print (material storage) and

electronic resources;• Support the right balance of collaborative versus private settings – mix of various work environments that

encourage learning, study and research;• Create the best distribution of library and

information access/study areas –valued, time-honored qualities can beretained alongside an increasingly virtualfuture.

A powerful influence on building massing andselection of exterior materials is the necessaryharmonious relationship between the library and itsmassive historic neighbor to the south, Building500. The library siting as the “front door” toFitzsimons Commons makes it a preeminentstructure that deserves careful formalconsiderations worthy of a profound architecturalstatement.

26


June 1, 2001

Through design, UCHSC Institutional Master Plan standards must also be fulfilled by choosing appropriatehierarchies of scale, textural and color palettes as well as meeting guidelines for sustainable and “smart” buildingdesign.

Specific exterior treatments proposed include brick masonry, pre-cast limestone lintels and base, large windowedareas for sweeping north-facing views that are deeply recessed with metal sunscreens for reducing solar loads at theeast and west. As the library is a free-standing structure, glass and metal “eyebrows” have been placed at the rooflevel for visual identification of the library as it is approached from all directions.

Each floor plan is organized around a large flexible rectangular box that provides maximum flexibility while flankedby internal light wells and smaller areas for office functions and study. The first floor contains two entrances, theprimary facing Fitzsimons Commons and a secondary one through the 24-hour computer/study area (with coffeebar) directly opposite Building 500.

While two entrances are not optimal forlibrary materials management and circulation,the unique requirements of the UCSHCcampus at Fitzsimons necessitated thisdecision. Other functions on the first floorinclude reference services, information accessand study areas, resource services, theloading dock and the School of Pharmacy’sdrug information center.

The second floor contains information accessstudy areas, systems-databases, the learningresource center, education and health informaticsaccess and study areas. The fourth floor is planngallery/display area and the special collections.

beam and column frame in combination with any amount of concrete core walls that may be included in the floor plan.For the initial study, a 30 x 30 foot bay size has been established as it works well with the anticipated use.

Foundations:A geo-technical report will be prepared for this structure that will determine the appropriate foundation for theanticipated column and wall loads. In keeping with allowing for future adjacent construction it is anticipated that thefoundation will most likely be a shallow footing system. Sizes may be estimated after the preliminary geo-technicalinvestigation is conducted.

Basement Walls, Grade Beams:Basement Walls: Provide at least 12” thick reinforced concrete basement walls with reinforcing ranging from 62 to 90pounds per lineal foot, depending on the depth of the basement below the exterior grade. At locations without abasement, provide at least a 12 inch wide by 48 inch deep reinforced concrete grade beam with reinforcing rangingfrom 24 to 72 pounds per lineal foot, depending of the exterior wall and foundation configuration.

Basement and First Floor Slab Construction: Provide a 6” concrete slab on 6” of aggregate on natural material or non-swelling structural fill as indicated by the geo-technical report. The slab will be reinforced with #4 @ 12” each way and jointed with soft cut sawn control joints notexceeding 144 square feet.

Structural Floors: Provide a cast-in-place two-way beam and slab system. The total depth of the structure will not exceed 24” except atthe exterior spandrel beams where it is determined by the best way to support exterior wall construction. Slabs range inthickness from 8 to 10 inches depending upon the loading and opening configurations. Beams range from between 24”deep by 60” wide to 24” deep by 72” wide depending upon the loading and span configurations. Beams frame toreinforced concrete columns ranging from 24” to 30” square. The structural frame is designed to achieve the followingfire protection ratings:

• Construction Type I-FR • Concrete columns 3 hrs. • Concrete floor construction 2 hrs. • Concrete roof construction 2 hrs.

Lateral Load, Resistance:The structural requirement to support all lateral loads (resistance to wind and seismic forces) will be provided by adual system of beam column frames and shear walls. Shear wall and frame interaction will be determined once thequantity of wall elements available has been determined. This system has the flexibility to utilize any amount (nomatter how small) of walls to provide the most economical support system.

Design Loads:Minimum floor loading will be designed for a 100 pounds per square foot (psf) live load. Stack areas, or potentialstack areas are assumed to carry a minimum of 150 psf up to 400 psf live load depending upon the need or desire forcompact shelving.

Concrete Properties:Provide normal weight coarse and fine aggregate plant mixed concrete mixed with Type II cement at foundations,Type I Cement elsewhere. Fly Ash use will be encouraged and should range to around 20% of the cement total. A28-day compressive strength of 4,000 psi will be utilized for footings, walls and grade beams and slabs on grade. A 28-day compressive strength of 5,000 psi will be utilized for all beams and columns. Reinforcement shall conform to

Project Cost Estimate The project budget outlines the costs associated with each component based on 2001 dollars. Escalation of costs over time will be determined within the capital construction budget request process. Inflation rates are determined by the State of Colorado and the project budget will be adjusted accordingly.

Construction Cost: $25,016,757 Total Project Cost: $34,998,669


June 1, 2001 35

Life-Cycle Estimate

Life cycle costs were not a determining factor as to how the project solution was developed. Space needs andprogrammatic changes in Library services are significant drivers behind the actual scope. Although life cycle costsdid not determine what the solution was, it is important to understand what long range costs are when associatedwith a project of this size.

Maintenance and utility costs are seen even before a structure is finally occupied. Based upon current operatingcosts at Denison, the following are estimated expenses for the new library building.

Grounds & Maintenance $ 233,748.00 annuallyCustodial 87,372.00 annuallyUtilities 458,419.00 annuallyPolice 81,698.00 annuallyEnv. Health/Insurance 53,331.00 annually

TOTAL $ 914,568.00 annually

Operating costs, combined with repair and replacement, govern life cycle costs for a building. Those associated withthe value of today’s dollar are what gives the total life cycle costs of any investment. The life cycle costs indicateoperating, maintenance, and replacement costs that are likely to occur once this project is complete, and can befound in Appendix Section 7.05, Life Cycle Owning and Operating Cost Analyses.

Beyond the facility life cycle costs are those associated with operating the library program; see Appendix Section7.06, Financial Operation Information. Depending on final design decisions, such as inclusion of multiple buildingentrances, operating costs may vary from those determined in developing the program plan.

Financial Analysis

The financial plan to fund the project involves a partnership between the University and the State of Colorado. TheUniversity proposes providing cash funds acquired through an aggressive development effort, to supplement statefunds via the Capital Construction Budget Request process. The University contribution will be approximately $5.0million of the $35 million. The remaining $30 million is scheduled to be split between $9.75 million in Fitzsimonstrust funds, and $20.25 million requested in the University’s Capital Construction Budget Request to the State ofColorado. Since the project will take longer than one fiscal year, the first request will be made in FY 2002 for $4.8million. The $15.3 million balance will be requested in FY 2003/04 and FY 2004/05. A detailed breakout is locatedin the Project Cost Estimate, which precedes this section.

Project Schedule

The following schedule best represents a timeline associated with design and construction once the project is funded.The following page outlines a project schedule that assumes funds will be available in the spring of 2002. If this isnot the case the overall schedule of the project is still valid, except the start and completion dates must adjustaccordingly. The length of the time required for design and construction will likely remain.

Relation to Master Plan/Other Projects The new Fitzsimons campus presents the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center with an extraordinary opportunity to compete and prevail as a top tier health professions education, research and clinical institution. The institutional master plan for the new campus, approved by the Colorado Board of Regents and the Colorado Commission on Higher Education in 1998, provides for the UCHSC to expand from its cramped 46-acre Denver campus to 217 acres at the former Fitzsimons Army Medical Base in Aurora. The Fitzsimons campus development will involve a phased construction program totaling approximately five million square feet of new program space and associated infrastructure for the Health Sciences Center and University Hospital. Education-related space will total more than 600,000 gross square feet, which includes a new state-of-the-art library with approximately 116,000 gsf area. Today, nearly 325,000 users rely annually on the Denison Memorial Library for vital, up-to-the-minute information on patient care and research, personalized assistance in tapping knowledge sources, and a diverse collection recording the scholarly record of the health sciences. Nearly 20% of walk-in clients are from outside the campus. As the only comprehensive health sciences library in the state of Colorado, the Denison Library is the library of record and the last recourse for biomedical materials unavailable elsewhere in the region. Unfortunately, library space and technology do not meet current demands and will be unable to meet future demands as users increase and learning methods change. The University of Colorado Health Sciences Center Master Plan provides a vision for the new learning environment at Fitzsimons, which includes the library and its services. The vision emphasizes that for the UCHSC to maintain and enhance its ongoing commitment to form and reform educational programs that respond to health workforce needs, the library must be continuously responsive, dynamic, evaluation-conscious and future-oriented. The success of this goal depends in large part on effective use of the appropriate evolving information technologies and other learning methods. The library will be the focal point to access information from emerging technologies. In the information age, the concept of learning environments and modalities will continuously evolve. The use of educational technologies shall better accommodate differences among learners, including real and virtual learning environments, demand and just-in-time learning opportunities, and increased access and time flexibility in distributed learning modalities. The new library meets these evolving needs with a flexible design that allows library scientists to adjust to constantly changing technology.

VI. Facilities Alternatives

There are no acceptable alternatives other than moving the Denison Memorial Library to its proposed site at theUCHSC Fitzsimons Campus. Because the program plan is conceptual by nature, it is understood that during theDesign Phase modifications may be required.

Prior to the kick-off of the program plan process and after evaluating several options, UCHSC determined that thesite directly north of Building 500 was the correct choice for locating the new library.

* It is anticipated that the only operational costs implications associated with the renovated space are those related to the increase in utility and maintenance costs. Utility costs rise due to the additional air system required for the lower levels. Additional air will become available for the upper levels since the new system eliminates the need for the existing building system to support these two floors. The assumption is the building system will continue to operate as today, just distributing air in different locations. Thusthe new system is considered additional operating costs. Maintenance costs will rise only slightly due to additional laboratory equipment.

Financial OperationInformation

LIBRARY PROGRAM PLANFINANCIAL SECTION

This program plan includes increases to operating costs in 2004/05 when the new facilityopens. Because the new Library will be occupied during December 2004, the costs for2004-2005 represent a partial year budget with the rest of the increase shown thefollowing year for a total projected increase of $345,000. A detailed operating financialanalysis for the new Library can be found in the final pages Appendix.

In general these budget increases are designed to support an enlarged number ofcomputer workstations as requested by users: 1) for planned upgrade/replacement ofequipment and provision of additional network jacks or wireless connectivity, and 2)because a larger technical staff will be required to service these machines and assist usersacross the 110 hours per week that the library is open and staffed. Additional staff arealso included to cover the opening of a secondary entrance into the library (facing South)for the greater convenience of campus users coming from that direction.

A budget is also included to maintain a small satellite operation in the existing DenisonLibrary facility at 9th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard. This satellite will provideessential direct support for students from the Schools of Nursing and Pharmacy whilethese programs remain centered on the current campus.

UCHSC Telecommunications Cost Estimating Guidelines

As of: 9/22/00 1 of 8 UCHSC IS

The following elements of telecommunications infrastructure shall be addressed whenpreparing telecommunications cost estimates for new UCHSC construction. Additionalinformation, standards, recommendations, and guidelines for intra-building infrastructuredesign may be found in the BICSI Telecommunications Distribution Methods Manual(TDMM), 9th Ed. For outside plant design, please consult BICSI’s Customer-OwnedOutside Plant Design Manual.

Other relevant references include the Section 16470 Telecommunications Voice and DataSystems document and UCHSC IS Schematic Design Criteria document. Both arereadily available from UCHSC IS.

Each element of telecommunications infrastructure is broken out in subsequent tables.Specific guidance is given, where available, on how we do cost estimating by rules ofthumb (ROT).

Fire Systems FM�200; Preaction Systems; Firestopping



Telecommunications Spaces Table.

Spaces DescriptionSE A SE serves as the building’s entry point for campus backbone media.

The size of a SE is a minimum of 10’ by 12’. A larger SE may berequired depending on the size of building and the amount ofinfrastructure entering the building from the campus backbone.Significant wall space may be required for primary protection of coppercircuits. A SE may also serve as an ER or TR. Contact Rob Lee,Manager of Telephony, (303) 724-0443, for questions.

ER The minimum size is 150 ft2. An ER normally holds a PBX and anintermediate cross-connect (IC). ERs are usually collocated with a TR.ERs require strict environmentals, fire suppression, etc. Contact RobLee, Manager of Telephony, (303) 724-0443, for questions.

TR The size of a TR depends on floor space being served. The typical sizeof a TR is 10’ x 12’. TRs serve as the cross-connect location forhorizontal cabling and building backbone media. TRs requireenvironmentals, fire suppression, etc. Contact Rob Lee, Manager ofTelephony, (303) 724-0443, for questions.

WA WAs require telecommunications space for faceplates, jacks, WA cables(station cords), etc. Contact Rob Lee, Manager of Telephony, (303)724-0443, for questions.

Telecommunications Pathways Table.

Pathways DescriptionHorizontal Horizontal pathways consist of cellular floors, access (raised) floors,

ceiling zones and grids, underfloor ducts, cellular floors, conduit,raceway, tray, etc from TR to WA. Horizontal pathways shall provide atechnology independent distribution system. Contact Rob Lee, Managerof Telephony, (303) 724-0443, for questions.

Buildingbackbone

The building backbone pathway consists of sleeves, slots, conduit, trays,and other pathways that vertically interconnect floors (via TRs). Thebuilding backbone is also used to provide pathways between TRs on thesame floor. Contact Rob Lee, Manager of Telephony, (303) 724-0443,for questions.

Campusbackbone

The campus backbone pathway is typically provided. Each building isresponsible for providing a service entrance pathway (number ofconduits and sized per UCHSC IS Schematic Design Criteria) from thebuilding backbone (via the SE) to the nearest campus backbonemanhole. Contact Rob Lee, Manager of Telephony, (303) 724-0443, forspecifics on campus backbone manhole locations.



Telecommunications Media Table.

Media DescriptionHorizontal Category 6 (or Category 5E, as specified by IS) cable is the standard for

horizontal media. Each WA typically requires four (4) 8-pin modularjacks (RJ-45 in the vernacular) housed in two faceplates. That is, twojacks are contained per faceplate. Each faceplate will contain one A-jack (to support telephony) and one B-jack (to support data networking).This requirement necessitates placing four Category 6 (or Category 5E,as specified by IS) UTP cables per WA. The campus rule of thumb(ROT) cost model for horizontal media is $300 per faceplate or $600per WA. Additional jacks and faceplates may be required to supportother applications as dictated by the building’s occupants. Contact RobLee, Manager of Telephony, (303) 724-0443, for questions.

Buildingbackbone

The building backbone media is generally 50/125 �m (or 62.5/125 �m,as specified by IS) fiber for data networking applications and UTP fortelephony applications. Building dimensions and the applications beingsupported will determine the amount of building backbone media to beplaced. Contact Rob Lee, Manager of Telephony, (303) 724-0443, forquestions.

Campusbackbone

Each building must provide campus backbone media back to theCommunications Center in Building 500. Sufficient fiber optic mediamust be placed to support data networking; CATV; CCTV and securitysystems; video (MPEG2, H.320, and H.323); fire, life, and safetysystems; HVAC; and building management systems (BMS). The rule ofthumb (ROT) is to allocate 48 strands of 50/125 �m (or 62.5/125 �m asspecified by IS) multimode fiber and 24 strands of single mode fiber perbuilding. Additionally, copper media must be placed to support NEC voicecommunications. The number of pairs of copper to be placed dependson the type of building, the number of users, and the distance from theCommunications Center. The distance we can drive digital dial tonedepends upon the gauge of the copper, whether an AC long line adapter(LLA) is used, and the distance from the Communications Center inBuilding 500. Use the following data to determine the American WireGauge (AWG) of the copper to be placed :26 AWG (0.40 mm): 1700’ without LLA; 2300’ with LLA24 AWG (0.50 mm): 2800’ without LLA; 4000’ with LLA22 AWG (0.64 mm): 4600’ without LLA; 6000’ with LLAYou should note that use of a LLA is not desired because telephonyservice would depend on reliable, uninterruptible AC power beingavailable. Contact Rob Lee, Manager of Telephony, (303) 724-0443,for guidance on estimating the number of pairs of copper to run back tothe PBX in the Communications Center located in Building 500. Thecost of these media will be influenced by the building’s distance fromBuilding 500 and the amount of media placed.

Data NetworkingEquipment Description

Horizontaldistributionhardware

We use Cisco Catalyst 3524-PWR-XL Enterprise Edition (WS-C3524-PWR-XL-EN) switches for horizontal distributionhardware. These are 24-port 10/100 Mb/s switches, with twoslots for Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) GBICs (Gigabit InterfaceConverter) as down links to the Communications Center.Additionally, these switches are capable of providing power toVoIP IP Telephones. In general, each Catalyst 3524 costs$3000, installed. The uplink to the building backbone network(see below) is a GbE GBIC interface that costs $350 each. Two(2) GBICs are typically required per TR to ensure redundantaccess to the backbone network. In the event that two or moreswitches (maximum of 4 per stack, additional stacks can becreated as necessary) are used in the same TR, we connect themtogether via daisy-chained GBICs. Fiber patch cables areneeded to connect the GBICs together. Fiber optic patch cablescost $50 per patch cable. The cost per station cable to connect tothe horizontal media in the work area is $15 per cable assembly.

Finally, each TR requires a UPS capable of powering theCatalyst 3524s for 4 hours to ensure reliable telephony power.The size and capacity of the UPS depends on the number ofswitches supported. For planning purposes, an UPS to support 3Catalyst 3524s costs $2500, installed.

The ROT for provisioning horizontal distribution hardware is todivide the number of required data ports by 23 (reserve one portfor UPS and operations maintenance) and round the resultingnumber up. This gives you the number of Catalyst 3524switches required if you could assign exactly 23 users to eachswitch. This typically doesn’t happen. So you need to multiplynumber of switches by 20 percent. This number reflects the totalnumber of switches needed by assuming you can’t supportexactly 23 users per switch. You should note that this 20 percentdesign rule might not accurately reflect your building’s footprint,design, or inherent needs.

Building backbonehardware

Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Solution. This solution will use eithermultimode fiber (MMF) or single mode fiber (SMF) dependingon the building’s distance from the Communications Center inBuilding 500. 62.5/125 �m MMF, with a modal bandwidth of500 MHz�km, supports connectivity up to 550 m at the longwavelength (LX) of 1300 nm and 220 m at the short wavelength.SMF supports connectivity to 10,000 m at the long wavelength.For large building, we will employ the Cisco Catalyst 4006 (5slots) with GBIC interfaces (30 maximum if a second SupervisorEngine isn’t specified). This concentrator costs $30,000.Several concentrators may be required for large buildings. Forsmaller buildings, the Cisco Catalyst 4908G-L3 Layer 3 switchmay be used. It has 8 GBIC interfaces and costs $15,000.

Contact Dick Kovach, Data Network Manager (303) 724-0484,for specific configuration and costing guidance.
