PART I. Formal Project Statement of Intention

A. Abstract: Problem Statement

The Link is an afterschool community program for children ages 5-18 located in Eugene.

The program provides music, dance instruction, theater and performance as a means to improve students’ academic, social and personal abilities through learning, sharing and collaborating. The Link is a non-profit public organization, mostly funded through grants and donations to make it available to all families. Based on the nature of the program, the proximity to nearby businesses generates an ideal location. The Link will be a new interior built environment that the broader community in Eugene will identify as a safe and fun place for the youth to inhabit, and will also be intriguing and exciting.

There is a great demand for a facility that provides after school services to the Eugene community. From the hours of three to six in the evening, children who are left alone and unsupervised are at a higher risk of making destructive choices that may lead to drug abuse, drinking, teen pregnancy, crime, and other life threatening activities.1 Though Eugene offers community organizations like the YMCA and The Shedd Institute Music Academy, there is no specific after school program that targets these at-risk youth. This program will have a positive impact on Eugene by providing a “wayout” for the youth who are headed towards making wrong decisions. This proposal investigates how community youth programs impact learning through facilitating creative expression and how music, dance and performance help students grow socially and academically. The development of this facility will contribute to the rehabilitation of downtown and will create a sustaining relationship with the greater community. This program will use the performing arts as a connective tissue between professionals and artists in the community to the youth.The Link teaches and uses the arts in this program as a tool to help these kids ultimately succeed in life.

Thesis Issues/Questions User] Issue 1 | The design needs to create an environment that promotes collaborative relationships between the staff and at-risk students.

[1] How do the relational needs vary by age, and is this, or should this, be reflected in a hierarchy of spaces?

[2] How can the arrangement of faculty spaces and student’s spaces facilitate a stronger relationship between the users?

[3] How can design promote interaction between kids?

[4] How will the program be supervised? (What spaces need it?)

[Interior Space] Issue 2 | This proposal investigates community youth programs and how the built environment can impact learning through the support of or by facilitating creative expression?

[1] How can the built environment support/ enhance/promote dance & physical movement?

[2]How can physical activity and education be incorporated into a single, cohesive physical environment?

[3] What is currently lacking from the design of youth centers?

[4] How does music and dance relate spatially to one another and what are design implications for musical spaces?

[14]

[Activity] Issue 4 | The Link will explore current and new supplemental activities.

[1] What types of activities do after school programs support already?

[2] What additional spaces are required that the community can use/or rent out?

[3] How often will these additional activities occur?

[Social] Issue 5 | The built environment needs to understand the role of the users parents.

[1] What are the spatial requirements of the parents and what types of spaces are needed to support them?

[2] How often will parents be using the facility and what time of day?

Issue 6 | The built environment plays a role in the growth of high-risk kids.

[1] What aspects of color, light and form create a positive and encouraging atmosphere?

[2] What are the different social needs of the users and how can design address them?

[3] How can design be proactive rather than reactive to how students use the space?

[4] How does music and dance help students grow socially?

SITE PLAN

This building was constructed in 1915 when the city of Eugene opened it’s first public market. The market was for farmers and merchants to sell their local goods, similar to how the Saturday Market and Farmer’s Market is run today. The details of the building’s original architecture was influenced by Islamic architecture, with tall grandiose openings as entries and carvings and tile inlay on the facade. The structure of the building is CMU block with applied concrete stucco. The interior structure of the building is comprised of concrete columns and large timber trusses. Later in 1960 the building was renovated and separated into four tenant spaces for retail merchants. During the renovation, all historic detail was demolished and replaced with a streamlined modernist stucco face. The building is appropriate for The Link because of the large span between the column grid as well as being in a central location of Downtown Eugene.

The design of the exterior shell is very unusual. Further investigation is needed but from it appears, the concrete stucco finish was later applied to the building in attempt to hide doors from original building design. The exterior facade has signage from a previous tenant (Shaw Med) which just shows the lack of attention paid in recent years. When the building was originally built in the 1960’s it was well used and maintained, however as the tenants changed and in most

Zoning Why do you need to know the zoning?

What does this mean for your project?

Zoning is important to understand because there are use-specific codes that pertain to different building types and zoning laws. Every parcel or area that can be developed has zoning laws that control parameters like building height, area, amount of parking, and how far the building can be placed from the street. The building site for The Link is located downtown Eugene in the business district, however it is also adjacent to apartment and residential blocks. There are specific zoning laws that will control how much I can expand/ change the building envelope.

user scenarios Name : Rebecca Johnson User : High School Senior Female| 17 Q: How did you hear about The Link?

A: My teachers are the ones that told me.

Ya, they started telling us at school about how this was going to start up soon. A few friends and I thought we could at least come check it out once, and if it was lame.. then we wouldn’t come back. We have been hoping that it would be cool though, because sometimes we just get sick of staying at home and doing nothing but watch TV and check Facebook.

Q: What have you liked the most about this program so far?

A: A few people I know are into dance, and I have been wanting to try it out but it’s really expensive to join a studio here in town. We’ll spend about an hour learning new choreography in the dance studios, which is really fun. I also really like that they give us time to work on homework and get it out of the way. There is one lady who supervises us and she started helping me plan for college and figure out application processes for each school, she was really nice-Iiked her.

Q: How much do you interact with the younger kids?

A: We don’t even really see them much.

They keep us pretty separated because we have our own spaces to work in. My friends and I were hanging out in the lounge earlier though, and a bunch of middle school kids were running around, so I guess that’s where we see the younger kids the most. Which I’m glad we don’t have to be in the same spaces as them.

Name : David Reynolds User : After School Instructor Male | 24 Q: What do your regular activities look like while at work?

A: I have a full time job that is during the day and I just come straight here afterwards. Our office and lounge area have been very useful for me because I need a few minutes to get settled and place my belongings somewhere. For the days I decide to bring food, I’m able to keep it in the fridge over in the kitchenette. I typically prepare my lessons a week early so when I get to work each day I just have to look it over to see what I’m doing. Our days alternate. Today we are meeting the kids in one of the larger studios-I have ages 11 to 14 in mine, working on break-dancing. After that, I will meet with smaller groups of kids in our study rooms to go over homework or tutor those who need it. We try to create a variety of group sizes to meet different social needs of the kids. Our day usually ends with a few of the multipurpose spaces opening up for activities and games for the kids to do until they go home.

Q: Are the kids separated by age?

A: Ya, my coworkers and I each have an age group that we work with, and during the week we alternate who gets what size space. The only time all the kids will interact with each other is during free time at the end.

Q: What has been the most useful space for this facility?

A: I would say the multi-purpose rooms have been great for our program. It allows us to hold events for the kids like movie nights, large game activities, etc. Also, when the spaces are not being used for the kids, we have been able to use the spaces for banquets or other gatherings.

Name : Jacob Stanley User : Middle School, 6th grade Male | 12 Jacob is a very sweet but difficult boy to work with. He comes from a single parent home who works full time trying to support Jacob and his sister. Before The Link opened up, Jacob would sometimes get stuck at school late in the afternoon until his mom would be able to pick him up, and on days when that didn’t happen he would go to a friends house. Jacob had too much time on his hands and became curious about his friends older brothers drugs and began getting in trouble and making poor decisions. He has always been interested in playing the guitar but his mom has never been able to afford all the equipment so as soon as Jacob found out about the music program he became very interested in going. He really works best in the environments that are designed for smaller amounts of people like the practice rooms and study rooms.

In those smaller environments he is able to get the attention he needs and can work closely with the mentors. Jacob has already shown growth and change in his behavior and it’s clearly visible he enjoys being around people who are interested in his life.

Name : Mary Weaver User : Parent Female | 47 Mary is a middle school parent from South Eugene who has a work schedule that varies each day. There are weeks where she is unsure of what time she is able to leave work and go home. Mary has been really wishing for a program like The Link because her daughter is unsupervised after school until Mary is able to get home from work. She appreciates that the program not only provides activities and encourages the kids to learn a new talent, but that it provides a space and setting to learn and grow personally and academically. Her daughter is able to work with mentors which is really great because she looks up to people who are older than her. Now that her daughter attends The Link regularly, Mary is able to swing by the building on her way home and pick up her daughter. Since her schedule is uncertain at times, she will arrive before a study session is over and will need to wait around. On days where the program ends with dance and music activity, Mary is able to watch the end of the session through the viewing windows into the studio. The lounge has been a great place for Mary to sit and read and sometimes grab a cup of coffee while she waits for her daughter to finish. She also doesn’t mind waiting in the lounge because it give her an opportunity to connect and chat with other parents that are waiting.

[54]

Full Interview

With Tim Sinatra from Salem Boys and Girls Club - Can you talk about the difference between age groups and their needs spatially?... how segregated should the spaces be for the various ages (my program is 5-18). 6-9, 10-12, 13-15..1618.. three groups.. little kids-focus on eye level, whats in the environment… environment conducive to activity.. experiential learning..

-What are the security issues that need to be addressed with high school students? Cool issue.. separate entrance is preferred… security issuewant to keep older kids away from -How does the program provide resources and availability during offhours(weekends/no school days)? Nonprofit renting spaces..

-What is the most utilized space in the building for faculty?.... Students?

-What is your building currently lacking(dream big)?the verizon connect center:communication career fields… communications to teach..academy theme(sustainable energy/culinary theme)..

-The music/recording room.. Is it working well? What could make it better?

How many kids use it in a day? 30-35 lessons… sound booths, 4-5 studios for different purposes… vocals/editing/ drums -What are some important elements/ qualities to consider spatially for the educational classrooms?(Dealing with different ages... how should they be different...etc) see above.. walls to write on… to come alive.. create interaction..

-Could you see any benefits of having some sort of lounge/café in a central part of the building? How successful is the café at “the Club?”Teach heathy eating… very social thing to do..

-do you think it is crucial to have a kitchen and provide meals(I currently do not have a kitchen/mean setup for

the daily routine)? Need a kitchen for sure!!(food gets outsourced)…make it a teaching/demonstration kitchen.

Notes from Susan Goes @ CT Play First camp is ages 5-8, takes place in childrens workshop and rehearsal hall -informal demonstration at the end of camp in the theater -full dance floor and mirrors with curtains -extra space for furniture to sit down and watch, -piano -half day morning camp -sit in the auditorium first to get oriented -snack break mid way through Second camp ages 9-14, performance camp -reading the kids for performance, melodrama -teaching/formal/dance tech/vocal tech/ rehearsal/costume fittings/line read through -one group uses the theater for singing technique wish list-space works well since it is a short term camp -rehearsal hall-to make it a second performance space but more informal Theater space -need to think about where the actors get ready if you have a black box theater -should have separate bathrooms for actors and audience -create some sort of space for cast members to hang out/wait while not on stage -Think about enough clearance for lighting and need to create an elevated space for the light tech platform for controls -spring boards in dance floor -2 adults per 10 students… look up adult to kid ratio

A. Topical Research Information “Trying to Address a Growing Youth-At-Risk Problem.” Americans for the Arts.

Digital Print.

This article specifically looks at the use of creative arts and the social and academic impact they can have on the youth in communities. It suggests that art is “a powerful crime preventive tool,” that “attracts and engages even the toughest kids.” The article continues to address the doubt that people have regarding how effective art really is in children’s lives. Kids who have something like the arts to put their time and energy into, grow to feel like they are part of a larger picture and see their potential. The information is pertinent to the design proposal because it looks at the success in lives of delinquent youth. The proposed site is located downtown Eugene where a lot of troubled youth hang out and get themselves into trouble. Looking at this article for ways to address the growing issue of where kids go and what they do after 3pm will help develop the unique focus The Link has on music and dance.

Hirsh, J. Barton. “A Place to Call Home: After School Programs for Urban Youth.” Print.

This book investigates the debate regarding the format of after school programs.

Some say that an after school program should be more intense and rigid, making the focus about academics and success, however this writer precedes to explain that students grow when they feel connected to a community, and ultimately feel like they are part of a “second family.” Barton gives evidence that there are greater chances of success in the lives of these kids when the core focus isn’t academics and school. He conducted studies and gathered information about The Boys and Girls Club organization to see how successful their program is and what they are doing to get there. It’s important to have an understanding of other after school programs that implemented and successful in their communities. This book will give me insight on how to shape my other spaces in the program involved physical activity, tutoring and mentoring.

“Issue Briefs” Afterschool Alliance. 2009. Digital The Afterschool Alliance is a nation wide organization that is dedicated to raising awareness regarding the need for after school programs. “The Afterschool Alliance is working to ensure that all children have access to affordable, quality after school programs. Afterschool programs are critical to children and families today, yet the need for programs is far from being met.” The organization provides data from research that has been done in 2005 and 2009. The “Issue Briefs” page discusses topics surrounding the need for after school programs. There is a section devoted to the correlation between after school programs and success in school, explaining the various reasons why it has such a large impact on the lives of the youth. Studies have shown that students who have a program to be involved in, improved their social and communication skills, and decreased their behavioral problems. The website also gives pertinent data regarding the state of Oregon which clearly demonstrates the lack of support and the large need for after school programs to be implemented.

Week 6 : Midterm Review - 3 Schemes

[70]

Week 6 : Midterm Review - 3 Schemes

Review 1: Erin Cunningham -Don’t isolate entry or bottleneck it -Further develop the inner core of the building where the theater is -Think about ways to create space without using solid walls or partitions and how each space blends into the adjacent room/space -There needs to be a very clear logic and legitimate reason for having a second floor and what goes in it.

-Think about making the costume shop an exciting place to look into rather than tucking it back into the dark corner of the building.

-Suggested making a lighting model to mock up daylight conditions Review 2: Allison Hirzel -What am I trying to showcase? -Think about the purpose of this place and what you are trying to show -Pay attention/think about the spatial layout and push barriers, break boundaries and limits with space -How does this project/building reach out to the community?

Building Scheme 3: -Weird location for office… walk straight into building and see a blank wall… think about views from the street and entry.

-Consider combining scheme 1 and 3… idea of theater taken and put in scheme 3

-Make second floor full strip rather than squares… too impractical and choppy -Think about levels of permeability, similar to scheme 2 -Look up the contemporary art academy in Boston.

1. Is/Was my work clear?

-Diagrams are abstract but were easy to understand and read -Models begin to lose translation and are confusing.

They need to be able to represent the spaces but still be somewhat simple -2nd floor drawings are very confusing and not well thought out -Program diagram needs to change -I try to make big moves in my plan with the theater or other spaces but then ruin the moment by putting an office in the way or by making the entry bottleneck into the larger space

[71]

Week 7 : Materials + Atmosphere Charrette

Charrette from February 24th, 2012 Reflection notes + ideas 1. Perspective A [Second Level including stairs] The intention of this perspective was to show how the design intersects and relates with the existing structure. Once a person arrives at the top of the stairs, they will have a visual connection to the first floor through the existing truss structure. Rather than trying to conceal the truss, this way calls attention to it and uses it as a gateway for viewing. This perspective was successful in showing the relationship to the existing building structure and shows a hint of playfulness, but it doesn’t convey the desired openness I was going for. This feels very boxed and compartmentalized, and I would rather it feel open and inviting.

2. Perspective B [Exterior view looking into dance/lounge area] As I was imagining how people would approach this building, I had this idea that people would get a glimpse of the activities and excitement taking place inside as they approach the main entry. In the perspective, there is a portion of a wall that is visible and is called out with color. This is the main theater/multipurpose space that is meant to be a focal point in the building. The intention is that it will grab the attention of those on the street.

This perspective could have been more successful in showing “excitement” or busyness inside. It could have framed the theater space more rather than only giving a glimpse.

3. Perspective C [Lounge looking into theater space] The lounge is a space that should feel busy, somewhat loud and conversation friendly.

Lots of interaction and movement should be happening in this space and the design intention is to echo that level of activity. This space should feel open and large, yet create an intimate and comfortable feeling. I imagine this space to be occupied by all ages between 5-18 in addition to staff and parents. The materials and atmosphere should feel exciting and bright but cater to multiple ages. This space could play with light more and look at the other adjacent spaces and how they interact.

Overall the colors and materials chosen were meant to convey the idea that this place is fun and enjoyable and playful and facilitates interaction and activity.

Week 11 : Charrette - One Scheme

Melissa Gambino Comp Studio : Spring Term A. Snyder Spring Term Charrette : One Scheme + One Parti [1] Pro’s and Con’s Scheme 1 - Wrapping the Core

Scheme 2 -

PRO’S -Building interior stays true to existing conditions with second level.

-Language of lounge spaces creates potential for way finding and gives an “identity” to each section of buliding -Openness and ability to remove walls and boundaries allows facilitates a safe and collaborative environment between staff and students -This design has unique spaces that allow me to address the roof structure better.

-The design also suits after hours use by the community.

PRO’S -Entry vesitibule pulls people in from street and also provides extra saftey barrier for childiren -Using space differently by adding a second floor in the front part of the builiding -Has the informal performance space/stadium seating area which offers unique experiences -Spatial organization is clear and easy to navigate, not cluttered -Offers more flexibility with square footage

CON’S -Using the existing entry doesn’t make sense, because the location is bad.

-Spaces seem smaller and more cramped in this design, and will need to be re-worked.. some spaces may need to be compromised -This design doesn’t have some of the components of the second scheme like the dance hall arrangment and informal performance space SCORE a. Use of building site [5] b. Ease of fulfilling the program [6] c. Attention to social issues and thesis [8] d. Challenging and interesting design [8] TOTAL = [27]

CON’S -The open connection between the the floors in the theater causes problems for acoustics and also the type of views that will be available. The opening is too small and awkward -Doesn’t relate to roof structure at all, completely covers up the existing trusses and does a diservice to the design -Needs additional egress for front second level. This design has too many egress issues to deal with.

SCORE a. Use of building site [7] b. Ease of fulfilling the program [8] c. Attention to social issues and thesis [7] d. Challenging and interesting design [8] TOTAL = [30]

[2] The most critical issue I need to consider for moving forward is how each scheme currently addresses the existing roof structure and how it can better relate and how easy that change will be to make. My building has a complex roof system and contains a lot of potential. The other issue I need to consider while moving forwards is how well the design benefits the children using the spaces. They need to facilitate collaboration and community between the children and staff.

HISTORICAL PHOTO

This building was constructed in 1915 when the city of Eugene opened it’s first public market. The market was for farmers and merchants to sell their local goods, similar to how the Saturday Market and Farmer’s Market is run today.

The details of the building’s original architecture was influenced by Islamic architecture, with tall grandiose openings as entries and carvings and tile inlay on the facade. The structure of the building is CMU block with applied concrete stucco. The interior structure of the building is comprised of concrete columns and large timber trusses. Later in 1960 the building was renovated and separated into four tenant spaces for retail merchants. During the renovation, all historic detail was demolished and replaced with a streamlined modernist stucco face. The building is appropriate for The Link because of the large span between the column grid as well as being in a central location of Downtown Eugene.
