3rd Meeting with the Architects From Tom Lavin Architect Firm

The Chamber's Convention Center study committee met and looked at the architect's new configurations on Tuesday. Tom Lavin of Lavin Architect began by telling the feasibility committee how they took what the committee said they wanted and made a configuration of what they heard.  The Lavin Architect realize that there has to be a master plan that can be built in stages.  The completed plan would be around 300,000 sq.ft.  It is a little larger than first discussed.  Tom Lavin said when they got into the details of it with the committee this could be refined to suit the communities needs.

Lavin Architect took this gaming piece from September's meeting and came up with a grand design.

The indoor arena can be used for equestrian events, rodeos, car shows and sports events such as volleyball or basketball events.  The Indoor Arena would be 155' x 250' which would include seating for 1,250 to 1,400, a warm up area, return alley, dressing room with restrooms only and storage.  The arena will be a metal commercial building that is heated and cooled.

December or January will bring another meeting with the architects to discuss the cost of the Convention Center which would be more like an event center.
