Our knowledge and experience have given us a national reputation in the design and planning of community, cultural arts, recreation and aquatic facilities. We are strong believers in an interactive process to guide our clients and engage the community. We encourage the participation of those who will ultimately use the facility; we believe their input is crucial to the success of the final building project.

Technical Approach publiC proCess experieNCe barker rinker seacat architecture has played a leadership role in public process on nearly all our projects since our early beginnings more than 37 years ago. We pride ourselves in being adept at engaging all members of the public to help them create “their community facility”. We work with our clients from the onset to determine how much community involvement is required. The following are suggestions for how we would begin the ft. collins southeast community center project: • augment the Planning committee composed of city staff, recreation and cultural services Departments, community center steering committee members and citizens that are connected to the community and have the enthusiasm and energy to make sure the project is a priority for the community. • Develop a Mission statement for the community center that all citizens and stakeholder groups can adopt as their own and against which all project goals can be measured. • conduct an on-line survey of residents to gauge their priorities and interest in the community center. • Make sure the community feels a part of the process and has ownership in the project. • Recommend refinements to the process to maximize stakeholder input and support. • assist and lead, where appropriate, advisory group and focus group meeting discussions. • lead community wide open houses and workshops. • Develop an operational business plan simultaneously with the design. • Provide artist’s renderings and marketing/informational materials. • some of the strategies and devices we have used in the past to assure community-wide involvement have included: newsletters, Psa’s on radio and TV, through flyers in utility bills, local newspaper, at public buildings. ask community center steering committee to distribute through their feedback network. • Provide babysitting and snacks. • employ games such as the “Program card game” to prioritize program elements and site selection. Make sure that everyone, including children, participates in voting. presentation materials We develop presentation tools such as boards, charts, power point presentations and models (both for public presentation and display). The information and graphics we provide electronically can be used for fund raising events, brochures, grant proposals and other similar activities. key issues For suCCess The key issues for a successful design process and outcome for a community project are building consensus quickly and making timely decisions. Typical impediments to moving forward are control of the budget, meeting jurisdictional requirements, reaching agreement with all of the stake holders and incomplete business planning. We start associating construction and operational costs with program elements from the very beginning of discussions. site issues such as zoning changes, utility access, drainage, sustainability and environmental concerns have to be identified early. Additionally, if partnerships are to be seriously considered, inter-governmental agreements need to be discussed. There needs to be a commitment to the project and a clear understanding of shared costs and benefits. the Work plAN The first step in any community planning process is to develop a detailed Work Plan for your project based on knowledge we’ve gained from the City and significant prioritiziNg gAmes These are early program phase exercises such as “Dot-ocracy” or voting with dots that allow the project team and your public to participate in prioritizing what can be accomplished within funds available. a goal is to maximize buy-in and support of all stakeholders to inevitable required compromises. one of the activities we have used early in the programming/concept phase is a way to identify the square foot size and construction cost of each of the program components, their relative expense in terms of maintenance, and their operational/cost recovery value. We put this information on a series of cards and have the community center steering committee and staff prioritize the cards with their cumulative value adding up to the budget. We refer to this tool as the “Program card game.” phAsiNg strAtegies Having a clear vision of potential facility additions can clarify the “big picture” for all and optimize other opportunities on the project site. it is important to consider these early and plan for them in initial phases. operAtioNAl Costs We advocate balancing your service objectives with revenue considerations. We believe a good community center projects offer “something for all”, yet should to be planned to minimize subsidy requirements. Making patron utilization projections a visible part of the early planning process can help decision making. We have included ballard*King & associates (bKa) on our team to lead this critical portion of the planning process. bKa specializes in developing detailed and accurate operations pro-formas for your facilities. We believe these business planning services should be integrated throughout our work plan. some of the focus areas include: partnerships, market analysis, operational feasibility analysis of program elements TecHnical aPProacH We feel the architect should be pro-active in raising awareness, providing choices and helping facilitate “best value” decisions unique to each community. This approach supports our firm’s mission of Designing inspired community architecture. We aspire to promote a process of sustainable design that embraces conservation, wellness, quality of life and teaching. Conservation includes the traditional areas of resource and fiscal conservation but also preserving and strengthening community through building re-use and sensitive urban design. Wellness looks at creating places whose activities and environmental qualities make us healthier. Quality of Life can be enhanced by paying special attention to how public spaces can support community connections and interactions. finally, we think public buildings can Teach sustainable thinking to the many people who use them that can be applied to their home or office environments. at brs, we are optimistic about the future. our architects and consulting teams are especially excited about our opportunity to help create a more sustainable future through design. teChNology ANd CommuNiCAtioN Efficient and effective communication is critical to a successful project. for this reason, we employ a number of software tools to assist in reaching as broad an audience as possible. Large electronic files can be easily transferred with our Newforma Project Center, an enhanced fTP site where project files and emails can be accessed. our team also employs the use of GoTo Meeting software which allows interactive conference calls between parties in multiple locations. These conference calls are enhanced by allowing the owner to see in real time documents and designs on their computer screen. our team also offers, as an WorK Plan & scHeDUle Activity Scope Description (Tasks & Products) Participants Needs Assessment, Feasibility, and Conceptual Design for Potential Southeast Community Center 1.1 COFC awards contract to Design / Consulting Team March 1, 2013 • Planning Meeting #1 BRS • Review proposed work plan scope • Confirm time frame for work plan • Confirm public input process requirements -
