Informal Resident Advisory Work Group Cedar Grove Community Center August 13, 2013 Page 3of7 22 • A folding partition is added to the front of the stage to allow this space to be used both as a Stage and a Classroom. • Existing stage cannot be removed as it is a concrete slab on fill and is integrally connected to the adjacent walls. • Handicapped access to the stage is provided by a new ramp created by renovating the existing storage area north of the stage. • The group discussed the need for a separate office for a facility manager (in charge of the inside programs) in addition to the Parks and Rec Office (in charge of the outside grounds and programs). • The existing wings remain but are mothballed. • New group toilets are provided in the same location as the existing toilets but are enlarged, made handicapped accessible and provided with exterior access. • The exterior and interior door to the bathrooms would be designed to allow them to be secured to prevent unwanted access to the interior of the building. • The existing library becomes an exercise room, as the classroom wings remain in place in this option and this space is accessible from outside the area that would be cut -off and mothballed. • Internet Cafe is provided adjacent to ceremonial front door by removing a portion of the existing masonry walls to create a large open space. • Wireless internet is to be provided thru -out the entire building. • A Conference Room is provided adjacent to Internet Cafe • The existing breezeway between the existing main building and the Dining Room would be enclosed and made into a Lobby /Corridor • A new Kitchen is created in the west half of the existing kitchen area. • The Kitchen is provided with direct access to the Large Group Meeting Room with a pass thru window with counter top and roll up door. • A concern was raised by the group about the Can Wash being located in the Kitchen and the possibility of smells invading the Kitchen from this space. • The Health Department will require a can wash adjacent to the Kitchen and the location shown in this option will minimize changes to the plumbing. • The Can Wash will be designed with an exterior ventilation fan and that • It was suggested that the Can Wash location could be switched with the storage area shown in the Kitchen. The architect stated that they would review this option. • A new Can Wash could be constructed outside the kitchen, but this option would cost more. o A Janitors Closet and storage will need to be provided in the building for the storage of paper goods and cleaning supplies. This function can be combined with the Can Wash area. The architect explained to the group that plumbing costs could be a major cost driver for the project. The existing dining space is subdivided into three spaces, a Large Group Meeting Room, Small Group Meeting Room and Rec Room. • The Large Group Meeting Room is able to be expanded into the Recreation Room for larger events by opening a movable wall between the two spaces.
