SITE/COMMUNITY CONNECTION Greenfield, Wisconsin With direct access to: • public go-cart track & golf range • public park with baseball fields, playground and picnic shelters • bike/pedestrian trail • 3 public bus stops • 1 commercial district • 3 residential developments
site development
It is proposed to push and pull the northern site boundaries creating a more organic division between the adjacent city park and the site. This will provide the opportunity for a primary vehicular circulation path to encompass the building and allow the building to be accessed from all sides. The scale of the parking areas has been decreased to better relate to the human scale, and the utilization of pixelated parking gradually increases the amount of green spaces in direct correlation to the distance away from the building. Community spaces throughout the site encourage exploration, activity and engagement with nature and other members of the community. Some of those types of areas include; • community garden • basketball and tennis courts • skate park • playground • event and gathering pavilions • small seating areas • open, multi-purpose areas

EGRESS Converting a big-box building in to a multiuse community center drastically changes the code requirements the building must meet. Not only adding and modifying the way the building is accessed, but also providing the opportunity for a second floor requires the addition of egress halls and egress stairs. They were placed in ways that allow them to be celebrated, yet discreet, and as useful as possible. SIGNAGE, BRANDING & WAYFINDING To improve wayfinding, each department is distinguished with a different color. A contrasting, GREEN WELLS Four green wells have been installed.
