This same floor finish will also be provided to the stage /exercise room. • In the Multi- purpose Room it was stated that the Informal Advisory Group and the County would prefer to have overhead retractable basketball goals and backboards. • The Informal Advisory Group stated that they would prefer to see the 2 pair of existing doubles to the corridor remain at the Multi- purpose Room so these could be used for in /out doors during events but that it was acceptable that these be provided with doors. • The county requested that in floor sleeves be provided in the Multi- purpose Room for volleyball and badminton net posts. • It was stated by the architect that there would be a light bar with LED spot lights provided at the stage but this would be a small system only and not designed for theatre productions. • A small system would be provided at the Multi- purpose room as well as a cabinet with connections for microphones and an auxiliary player like an I -pod. • It was discussed that acoustical treatments would need to be provided to the Multi- purpose to allow the space to be used for multiple events. This treatment could be provided by banners in the roof structures and wall panels. • The Informal Advisory Group asked if the existing lights would be retained in the Multi- purpose room it was stated that they would not but that either compact fluorescent lights or LED lights would be provided and they would have a similar look to them. • The Informal Advisory Group and the county both suggested that the door between the Facility Office and the Multi -media Room be retained so that the person in the Facility Office has easy access to the Multi -media room to "trouble- shoot" any computer issues. • It was stated that Luxury Vinyl Tile (LUT) flooring products as discussed previously would be provided throughout the rest of the project but that either carpet or loose rugs could be provided at the Internet Cafe to provide it with a more "soft living room" feel. • The heating and cooling of the building was discussed and John Thomas stated that at the moment the engineer was investigating options but was looking at provided the air handlers in one of the classrooms within the "mothballed" area and then ducting thru the existing exposed roof structure to the different spaces. The county stated that had had issues with "noise" from exposed ductwork, the architect stated that they would look at using dual wall ductwork to request this. The county stated that they had had good success with the use of Mitsubishi ductless mini split systems on other projects. • The Informal Advisory Group asked if the architect had investigated geothermal HVAC for the project. The architect stated that they had had preliminary discussion on the use of geothermal with the engineer and that they had done preliminary calculations which showed that the project would require approximately 120 — 200 feet deep wells. • The Informal Advisory Group also asked if the county had considered solar energy for hot water heating, the county stated that the payback period on this would be approximately 25 years. The county stated that they had no issues with the use of tankless water heaters.
