The space performs a number of activities and is divided in[o a couple of different areas. Public, reception, tiles and office space, the conferenc;e room and breala-oom are toward the back. Some of the worl: stations require a drafting table ~vhile other~ are simpl~~ work spaces with a phone for field personnel. • 08ice systems are navy and cranbecry. • Consider break room (to be shared) or coftee bar for dept., an area for sick ( maybe one per iloor to be shared) • It ~vould be advisable to consider a clean area for field worl:e~s (in parl:ing area- boots etc.) Also a place for storing bic_ycles. Also place for rec_ycling bins. • There is a training room in this building, shared b_y the depaitments with all ne~v furniture that could be easily mo~°ed. "I~he ,ize no~+~ is jusl a little small; it is u~ed for 22 staff. Some sort of cot~eebar would be nice. Planning Denartmcnt: • Lobby/rec;eption ha~ three people ~vaiting at most. Area ~vith drawing files and regular files for public access. • Storage- most til~ are in archives but active files (5 years) are in the dept. There are 10-15 files( 4 dr. ~~eriical.) 71~c>> are used on an hourly basis and shared with Building Inspector and Public Works. • Staft~ break room, again cauld be a shared space with co$eebar ~~~ithin dept. • Small conferenc;~; spac:e ~vith 5' pa~lition ~valls u~ed for siaff meetings and occasionally with public client worl:s ~•ery ~kell ti>r lh~ de~a~tment. • I~uinishings are gray ~~~ith oak trim and mauve. Boxr~i of Commissic-ncrs: Rec:epti~n area is amall and ve>>> ix~lated now. Waiting room for four. Contercne;e room loo small no~v. it is necessary to have a tackable acoustic;al ~aall c;overing for display pw~~c;s. It ~>>ould be helpful to have the space hooked up to the Heaiing Room and have the Lobbyists neat to the conferenc;e ra~m. (Need to hear Legislature) l~here is an ezisting coffeebar that sc;ems to be sufficient (it is located jusl outside of conference room). Cih~ Council Chambera: In designing a new area it would be helpful to have an additional room at the back to house wires, t.v., and equipment t_ype stuff (a control room). It should have all state of the art equipment. (Cameras in soffits etc., eliminating people standing in the middle of the room in the ~vay etc.) Be aware of the furnishings, specifically the height of the counter and chairs etc_, the drawers for the commissioner~ are not used presently. Children and Familics: • Shares reception with the Board of Commissioners • Furnishings are ne~v; they are black and p-ay and more contemp. looking. (3-4 vertical files) • There are two private offices with two people in one and ihree in the other. The space is very crowded. • Children and Families is the fastest growing department and can e~ist on its own. : ~ ~ ~ 7~
