172 <br />Dolly Oak Park <br />Shelby, North Carolina City of Shelby, Parks & Recreation J:' <br />Owner: Charles Holtzclaw, Director Number: 704- 669 -6596 <br />In conjunction with the City of Shelby's construction of park <br />facilities in the years following World War II, Holly Oak Park was <br />developed during the 1950's as the park facility for the African - <br />American community. The park opened in 1958 and the main <br />Community Center building was dedicated in 1960. Very little had <br />been done over the years to keep the facility up to current Parks <br />and Recreation standards. MBAJ Architecture was commissioned to <br />assist in developing a master plan for Holly Oak Park to upgrade the <br />main buildings on the site. <br />The 11,800 square foot Community Building contains a gymnasium, <br />a game room, toilets, and administrative offices. The scope of the <br />project was to renovate the building; provide handicap accessibility <br />to all parts of the building, update the HVAC, electrical, and <br />plumbing systems; and update the building's interior colors and <br />finishes. One objective of the renovation was to use vibrant color <br />and improved artificial lighting to change the character of space. <br />Statistics <br />Project Area: <br />Date of Completion: <br />Project Manager: <br />Original Contract Amount: <br />Number of Change Orders: <br />Total Amount of Change Orders <br />19,000 Sq Ft (renovated) <br />December 2005 <br />Stan Anthony <br />$961,281 <br />4 <br />$267,747 <br />* *Under same contract as Shelby Community Center <br />
