The campus-wide records and materials generated by the PEC are gathered together under the
Physical Environment Committee main heading. The most important of these records are the
minutes and related materials files which include correspondence and agenda materials. Also
included in the PEC files are Campus Building Programs, Caudill Rowlet Scott campus planning
records, Steering Committee records, and Summaries of Action.
Subcommittees of the PEC were formed for each building constructed or remodeled on the UWM
campus after 1956. The buildings which made up the old Milwaukee-Downer School campus
(Albert, Chapman, Garland, Greene, Holton, Johnston, Kimberly, McLaren, Merrill, Pearse, and
Sabin Halls) are gathered together under the heading of the Milwaukee-Downer Buildings
Subcommittee, which also includes records pertaining to the Milwaukee-Downer Campus as a
whole. Off-campus buildings owned by UW-Milwaukee, such as the Civic Center Campus,
Kenilworth Hall, and the Great Lakes Research Center, all have their own subcommittee
records.
Also included are records for a proposed Life Science and Allied Health building and
Instructional Communications Center building, neither of which were constructed.
Records for the Names of Buildings Subcommittee, the Parking Subcommittee, and the Year
2000 Masterplan Committee are also part of the collection. Included in the Names of
Buildings Subcommittee records are materials related to the process of selecting names for
campus buildings. The Parking Subcommittee records contain correspondence, documents
collected or produced by the subcommittee, minutes, parking plans, parking surveys, and
related materials. The Year 2000 Masterplan Committee records contain the Report of the
Committee and the Year 2000 Masterplan.
