accomplished visually through the strong axis that runs through the building and is
linked to the exterior paths and new proposed terraces of Adams Park. All rooms have
been redistributed to have access to natural daylight, including the internally located
computer room through the use of glass storefronts along the main corridor. All
recommended finishes are selected with the health, safety, and welfare of the general
public in mind.

The “O” shaped circulation path provides easy access throughout the center. The use of
wayfinding techniques including signage and color bands are incorporated throughout
the center, providing visual interest and an integrated sense of community. A chair rail
is utilized along hallway walls and lobby to provide continuity within the center, as well
as visual variety. Hallway walls are shown with an art band that provides a continuous
and defined location for hanging community artwork. In the Lobby, a new community
bulletin board provides a focal point and location for all to connect. The opening up
of the center, and the provision of a central reception desk will assist with security and
provide a welcoming entry experience for the visitor.

Through the use of axis, space planning, circulation enhancement, material / color
selection, wayfinding, and visual devices for community pride, we have endeavored to
elevate the discourse while recognizing the practicalities of budget and reality.
