SITE ANALYSIS Employee facilities and housekeeping need to be located close to security. Employees require an entry that is away from the main public entry, close to employee facilities, and close to vertical transportation. This entry could be shared with several back of house functions, like press, building operations administration, etc. Building Operations — Marshaling and Service Docks Marshaling is the events staging and overflow storage area. It should be adjacent to the event floor stage location, and major storage areas. It should have direct access to the service docks, television trucks, maintenance shops, and event electrical service. This report assumes that a portion of the area may be used as exhibition space for flat shows. The marshaling should be sized to accommodate circus needs for shows during inclement weather. Service dock areas include the loading docks, television truck parking and trash areas. The report assumes there to be two loading docks, one trash bay and one additional television truck parking bay. This must be at the event level. Security and service docks must be located together. Consideration should be given to locating this area away from any neighborhood housing. It is best to locate this area on a low traffic road for temporary parking of tractor -trailers, or providing overflow service yard area if required for special events. Consideration to the routes that service vehicles take to this area is critical for minimizing the disruption to adjoining neighborhoods. Vertical circulation servicing the entire building should be nearby. Commissary should have easy direct access. Physical Plant/Building Systems These are the mechanical and electrical spaces within the building. For the purposes of this report they are all included as one number and are calculated as percentages of the overall building. The locations will be distributed throughout the building in the form of mechanical rooms, electrical distribution rooms, telephone distribution rooms, chases, ducts, etc. The video head end and telephone patch rooms are for event use. They should be located adjacent to the service dock area and stage location. Building Area Summary The following is a preliminary outline of the primary building areas. The square footage listed for each area is derived from historic examples. The buildings used as examples were The Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena and The Mark of the Quad Cities Arena. An assumption table has been included, outlining building variables. The purpose of this summary is to provide an approximate overall building size that could be anticipated. Also listed in the report is the approximate number of rows that will be required and the building footprint. It should be noted that data included in this program is intended to provide information for site comparison purposes only. This is not intended to be a final building program. All information required to produce a building design has not been listed in this program. Brailsford & Dunlavey/Ellerbe Becket Page 27
