SITE <br />ANALYSIS <br />• <br />Locker rooms need to be easily accessible via a <br />service corridor to the service docks. The press <br />also needs direct, controllable access to these <br />areas for interviews. <br />Official's lockers and press areas will <br />be used during concerts for star dressing and <br />back stage guests. Security to these areas is <br />critical. They also need to be directly adjacent to <br />the end stage location. <br />Visitors lockers should be planned with <br />direct, secure access to the event floor. <br />Consideration should be given to making these <br />rooms divisible for more flexibility. Direct <br />access to team bus parking is desirable. <br />nactk <br />Event Facilities Press <br />The press is divided into two areas — <br />event level areas and press box. The event level <br />areas must be located near the television truck <br />parking. The marshaling area should be adjacent <br />for staging events with larger press coverage. <br />The interview room is the vestibule <br />between the locker rooms and the press. Direct <br />access from the vertical circulation to the press <br />box is desired. Consider providing access <br />directly into the home locker room if possible <br />with a second entrance off a service corridor. <br />The press box should be located at the <br />back of the seating area for hockey. The exact <br />location will be determined as the building <br />design is developed. This is due to the large <br />difference in capacity requirements established <br />by the local media. Wherever the press box is <br />located, it is essential that sight lines from this <br />area not be blocked by standing patrons. <br />Operations Facilities <br />This group of areas relate to the day-to-day <br />building operations, maintenance and building <br />mechanical systems. It is divided into two areas <br />— operations and physical plant. The following <br />discussion describes the sizing, placement and <br />orientation of these items within the facility. <br />Operation Facilities — Building Operations <br />These are the areas used nearly <br />everyday in the general functioning of the <br />building. It is desirable to locate them together. It <br />is also important to have vertical circulation <br />convenient to these areas. It is also important that <br />a dedicated entry, preferably in proximity to <br />security, be provided for employees. <br />Consideration for a second entrance for visitors <br />would be desirable. <br />Operations administration is the venue <br />management staff. Consideration should be <br />given to the placement of this group of <br />coordination of staff, visitors, and event <br />personnel. It is desirable for this group to have <br />convenient access to the entire facility. <br />Ticket operations must be adjacent to the main <br />box office. This area needs to be very secure <br />with consideration given to secure route for <br />money transport personnel. Access for customer <br />service and group ticket sales is also critical, <br />Building Operations — Building Maintenance <br />Building maintenance should be located <br />convenient to marshaling and the event floor. <br />This staff works everyday to maintain the <br />building and convert the facility over between <br />events. <br />City of Everett — Arena Feasibility Analysis <br />Page 26 <br />
