desired programming

After synthesizing the results from the community feedback survey, 10 more spatial programming elements were discovered as being important to the community. These programming elements are listed in each diagram to the right and carry on their designated colors throughout the rest of the designs. (A key will be listed at the bottom of each page as a reminder.)

Figure 1: Approximate Square Footage Bubble Diagram represents an abstract spatial arrangement of the programming elements. Each bubble is sized approximately and placed adjacent to programming it should remain near in the community center. These spaces are further studied in the following pages through their relationships to one another and their design implications.

Figure 2: Programming Chart lists the spatial programming elements studied throughout this document. The middle column represents the approximate amount of square footage each space would need in a building. This number comes from various precedent research for similar programming and will vary depending on the site and building selected.

It should be noted that there are other desired resources for the community center including social servies like legal advocay, religious resources, and vocational training that should be considered in programming but may fit into co-working and office spaces or gathering spaces and are not listed as their own space.
