Project Description
Currently, the Assembly Hall suffers from several built-in deficiencies and it is lacking some of the newer amenities found in modern buildings. Many modern arenas have been constructed in recent years raising the level of customer needs and desire. This feasibility study is intended to consider the practicality of making major improvements and changes to the physical structure of the building to bring it up to current standards and expectations. The goal of the study is to identify areas that are not currently meeting user needs and to develop a shopping list of possible solutions. The concepts should be developed enough to determine budgetary cost information and to determine structural and architectural impact. The final report should detail all of the needed changes to bring the existing building up to a state-of-the-art modern arena. It should also detail the feasibility, practicality, and cost effectiveness of each improvement. Where improvements are needed but not feasible, alternate solutions should be presented, up to and including the possible need for an entirely new facility.
