Old Garage Building, Main Street  

Proposed Pavilion, Main Street  

Rationale:

1. Preserves the historic facade, streetscape and form.

2. Provides public restroom facilities in the front (solid).

3. Provides possible concession and storage facilities.

4. Hides possible playground and parking behind.

5. Provides quiet sound barrier of street noise behind restrooms and creates an inside vs. outside feeling.  In addition, the building acts as a visual barrier to State Route 25A creating a peaceful sanctuary in the park.

6. The majority of the building becomes a void space that allows the park to be more visible. 

7. Saves construction renovation costs (can be smaller).

8. Saves on heating and cooling a large indoor space (life cycle).

9. Allows year-round "Passive" use (not under lock and key) with less staff and organized effort.

10. Can be scaled smaller for additional cost savings (2+ options).

11. Finally, who goes to a park to sit inside conditioned space?

​​​​Budget Analysis:

The Existing structure is a 4140 SF wood frame building. To renovate the entire building for a municipal occupancy of Public Assembly, including mechanical /AC, sprinkler, electrical, plumbing, life safety, windows, interior finishes, flooring, and energy code updates, etc. is approx. $400/SF.

• To renovate the entire building (no Pavilion) with all interior space: 4140SF at $400/SF is: $1,656,000.

• The larger Pavilion Proposal, interior renovation of 1240 SF at $400/SF ($496,000) plus the open-air canopy of 2740 SF at $90/SF ($246,600) is: $742,600 (44% less).

• The smaller Pavilion Proposal interior renovation of 1240 SF at $400/SF ($496,000) plus the open-air canopy of 1520 SF at $90/SF ($136,800) is: $632,800 (38% less).

• Additional reductions are possible reducing the cost while keeping the facade to define the original streetscape and provide public restrooms.

• These estimates do not include sitework.
