Rethinking Space Allocation: Enhancing Design and ROTC Programs at Iowa State University
This presentation by Ben Quimby, Jason Shmitz, and Jonathan Lazo addresses the urgent need for reallocating space at Iowa State University, focusing on the Armory. The goal is to create a dedicated facility that benefits both design students and ROTC cadets. We will explore the constraints of current facilities, present numerical data on space requirements, and discuss how improved allocation can support leadership training, physical training, and various campus activities. Discover the methods to achieve this change and understand the broader benefits for the university and its stakeholders.

Team Presentation By Ben Quimby Jason Shmitz And Jonathan Lazo
Purpose • The Armory should be differently allocated. • Design Students • ROTC Cadets • Why? • How?
Agenda • We need the space • Benefits • Numerical Information • Qualifications • Past Solutions • Methods to get there
Why do we need the Space? Physical Training • Currently in Lied Rec. • Time Constraints • Space Constraints
ROTC Benefits Drill and Ceremony • Space Availability • Secluded atmosphere without distractions
Leadership & Tactical Labs More ROTC Benefits • Always Useable • Not reliant on University • Not reliant on weather • Large space for all programs
Benefits For All • ROTC cadets can conduct numerous activities • Design students will receive a better space • More buildings available on campus • America will be better protected • Iowa State will look even better
Numerical Information • The Armory’s size in only 89,563 gsf. • The Design Building is 163,028 gsf. in size. • Twice the space • In reality Design only uses 15,939 sq. ft. • Almost 10 times the space
Qualifications • Labor • Interviewees • Buildings
Recent (Past) Solutions • Notable recent development • Small space • Very useful • Great teaching tool
How do we get there? (Methods) • Two ways • Design Building option is more cost effective • Labor needed would be minimal • New Building is less cost effective • Vast amount of labor needed
