Building Design Plans

Initial draft building and site plans for each of the six projects in the first phase of the community-developed master plan were informed by the work of the community and staff volunteers on the Building Steering Committees as well as community feedback gathered at Community Building Design Team meetings.
 
The initial draft building and site plans were presented for feedback from community members and staff members at the Community Building Design Team meeting on May 8 and 9, 2018. Additional feedback was gathered through online surveys during the month of May. 
 
Based on feedback from the community and construction estimates on the initial designs, the draft building and site plans were updated and presented to the community at the July 9, 2018, Community Building Design Team meetings.
 
As the design process progressed into the design development stage, further detail was added to the building and site plans for all six projects, and minor adjustments were made.
