SPACE ALLOCATION PROGRAM This Space Allocation Program is a narrative of the activities, room types, capacities and sizes of the facility. The major activities were identified through the community survey and refined by the Task Force. These were then broken down into specific use areas and occupancy capacities were established. Square footages were assigned to each area based on the minimum requirements established by the building codes. This information is presented here as the first step in defining the size and scope of the community center and a basis for beginning the actual design of the building. This program and the related charts and drawings are not intended to represent a design for the facility and should not be used to visualize how the building will look. Once the program is adopted and a final site is selected, the architectural and engineering research, code analysis, calculations and.design can begin. COMI4UNITY SURVEY The City commissioned a community opinion survey in December, 1989. That survey substantiated the support for a community center. The chart on the following page illustrates the preferences of activity spaces to be provided as reported in that study. This Task Force reviewed those results, conducted some follow-up research and rated their results. Those priority ratings are illustrated on the next following page. The indoor ice rink and the racquetball courts included in the fourteen activity spaces in the initial survey were considered inappropriate for this facility and eliminated from further consideration. USER ACCESS For a facility of this nature to be successful, it must be readily accessible to its intended users. Youth, families, seniors, and the disabled should have equal, convenient access and use of the Dro.qram~ and bu~ldi.n~? Access can mean many things from the cost or user fees, available transportation and walkways, to convenient times hours and being physically accessible.
