Make the addition blend... • The addition shape looks great — am assuming the same Jeffersonian column spin will be applied in some way to carry the central entrance motif over/across the front... • Please make the fagade of the addition as dainty and fine as that of the original entrance... • My main concern is parking. More importantly, I don't want the track/field paved over. I'm very happy to see that plans do not call for that. Thank you!... • This is truly a landmark structure and should be treated as such by CSU... • I am interested in seeing the top... more in line with the surrounding formal brick buildings — perhaps a dome or at least similar columns, I don't know whether it's Federal, like Monticello?... • Shift the Performance Hall to the north of the Old gym. Lower the fly to be in scope with a 500-seat theater... please add similar columns... keep the brick, color, gingerbread and windows from the old building to the new center... • The plan I see is wonderfully designed and... holds real potential for fostering better community/campus relations. Will the effort be spent to insure an addition that blends/matches well the older part of the high school?... • Plans should be made to build the performance arts addition to the back of the building or a new structure on the old track grounds... • Style of arts center must compliment the old building... • The outside appearance must reflect and blend with the traditional, stately architecture COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY - University Center for the Arts SLATERPAULL ARCHITECTS Job Number 10029 LAND USE DATA - Planning Objectives Site Area: 643,070 Gross Square Feet (GSF) 14.76 Acres Building: Existing Annex 17,841 GSF Existing Main Building 139,075 GSF Total Existing Building 156,916 GSF Building Additions 28,830 GSF Total Building Area 185,746 GSF Building Site Coverage: Existing Annex 17,841 GSF Existing Main Building 76,402 GSF Total Existing Buildings 94,243 GSF Building Additions 24,795 GSF Total Building Site Coverage 119,038 GSF 2.73 Acres Building Use: • Music, Theatre, and Dance Academic Programs • Fine Arts Gallery • Historic Costume Collection Gallery and Academic Program • Science Research Programs • 500 seat Performance Hall • 300 seat Recital Hall • 300 seat Open Stage Theatre • 100 seat capacity Experimental Theatre • 100 seat capacity Convertible Dance Studio Parking: Existing on -site designated parking spaces 248 Revised on -site designated parking spaces 289 Increase in parking spaces 41 • Additional existing right-of-way parking at perimeter of site • Additional parking on CSU campus connected by tunnel under College Avenue
