ALLRED&ASSOCIATES <br />Architecture • Planning • Interior Design <br />June 22, 2015 <br />Horticulture Forestry Advisory Board (HFAB) Meeting <br />Re: Heritage Park and Recreation Center Campus Restroom Design. <br />Function: <br />1. The restroom design incorporates functional economy by utilizing a back to back fixture layout <br />for water and waste. <br />2. The plumbing fixtures are on interior walls reducing the possibility of freezing of any water <br />lines. <br />3. The entries are across from each other so that a person waiting for children coming out the <br />bathroom can watch both exits. <br />4. Storage is included in the back for equipment related to the Arboretum and skate park. <br />5. The mechanical room will include the water heater and other relevant equipment pertaining to <br />the restrooms. <br />6. Clerestory windows provide natural lighting reducing the need for light fixtures to turn on <br />during the day. <br />7. Overhangs provide shelter and place to grow plants and provide seating for small groups. <br />8. Stone benches provide a planter and a place for seating. <br />Form: <br />1. The shed form is reminiscent of coal mining buildings which often incorporated rusted tin and <br />single sloped shed roofs. <br />2. The heavy timbers are reminiscent of coal mining materials. The trussed timbers were very <br />typical at the bottom story of the mining buildings. Coal from conveyor belts would come out <br />of the mines and drop coal in railroad coal cars under these type over hangs. <br />3. The stone facade represents the rugged mining material prevalent in mining through bedrock. It <br />is a contrast with the smooth metal roofing material. <br />4. The roof is corten steel reminiscent of rusting tin metal. The steel on the side is corten sheet <br />shingles reminiscent of tin shingling on temporary mining structure. <br />4 <br />
