The group agreed that, as a community gathering place, the Hub should:
- have an inviting and friendly atmosphere that looks and feels open,
- feature a space where people can gather, relax, have a coffee, or go on a date,
- have spaces for the community to hold events, and
- enable activities that are broadly focussed on encouraging healthy lifestyles.
We weren’t able to address everything on our first meeting’s agenda, so to keep the momentum going, we are planning to meet again, later in July.
In this first phase, our goal is to provide sufficient information for the architects and contract estimators to sketch a high-level building design with an initial construction budget. That budget can then be used to develop a pro forma (i.e. a model of the potential financial performance of the Hub) that balances affordability with function, durability, and sustainable design.
