Intent is to renovate first floor to use current the lounge and dining areas for
seminars and social gatherings. No use of the upper floors will be allowed until
we determine what those uses may be in the next year or two. Parking will be
provided on adjacent CSU property and the expected social uses are primarily
expected on evenings and weekends.
Type of Uses: Meetings of 8- 16 people once a week or more for retreats and
seminars. Social gatherings of 20 to 40 people for informal events, fund raising,
alumni, and an occasional sit down dinner. Overall the anticipated number of
events is expected to be 70 per year, total 1-2 per week average.
In addition it is expected that there will be several times a year a social gathering
of 50-100 may occur on the lawn. This is typically going to be on a weekend or
evening. Parking will be provided on the UCA site with University users
encouraged to park on campus and use the tunnel through the gardens.
Food will be catered in so we do not anticipate adding any garbage containers on
site.
This is not the kind if building.we see getting heavy use. The upper floors will be
shut off for now and I anticipate that in five years you will see it converted to an
Arts College Residence but that will take a substantial investment. This is meant
to be a low impact meeting place for administrators, faculty, and alumni type
uses.
Renovation will Entail: No alterations of the interior of the building are planned.
We will rebuild the wall between the kitchen and public spaces, add a fire
sprinkler system, and upgrade light fixtures, ceilings and flooring. The exterior of
the house will not be impacted but we will redo the landscape and hard surface
areas around the building as shown.
Our goal is to renovate the interior and grounds for primarily University events
and meetings that are low impact on the neighborhood.
