• Three volleyball courts. Inside of those courts will be three pickelball
courts.
• One indoor soccer court.
• Drop down curtain. The drop down curtain is more cost effective than
a wooden divider.
• Room for chairs and portable bleachers if needed. Room in storage
room to store them.
• Storage area will have open floor space for equipment and carts. Wall
racks and metal shelving will be added.
• Mechanical room, more information next meeting.
• A ventilation fan system will be used in this facility.
• Outdoor space should have more hard surfaces for social interaction.
One or two basketball hoops and a place for seating.
Discussion centered on remodel of the lobby regarding flow of people
into the Tween Center, Gymnasium lobby and restrooms. Discussed if
the lobby was necessary and to eliminating large restrooms or remodel
existing restrooms. Consensus determined this should be looked at as
one service for the teens and the community functioning together
rather than independently. Director Faber will organize a preliminary
brainstorming meeting.
Community Center:
Discussion focused on design space programmed for a 400 square
feet kitchen which would include a reach in cooler, refrigerator, food
warmer, dishwashing space, food preparation table, carts, service area
corridor and storage area. Walk in cooler optional. The Committee
decided against a full kitchen in this facility.
The Committee discussed gallery space and the opportunity to display
art using lighting, walls, and display cases. A funnel corridor is great
for displaying wall art, sculptures and three dimensional arts. Placing
benches along the wall would be an option to protecting the arts.
Marketing displays will be on a slot wall adjacent to the reception desk
in the hallway leading to the Parks and Recreation staff space.
Consensus viewed the entrance counter as an upscale piece of art and
that the lobby area should remain uncluttered.
