<br />Concept design of the Community Center prepared by BWBR Architects. The Community Center will include a multi -use fitness
<br />area, community room, meeting rooms and leisure pool, with construction to begin this summer!
<br />Busy Construction Year Ahead
<br />(To include community center, parks, bikeways & roads)
<br />1989 will be one of Shoreview's busiest
<br />construction seasons ever. Street renewal,
<br />watermains, parks, pathways, trails and a
<br />new community center are only some of
<br />the new improvements.
<br />In November of 1988, voters of
<br />Shoreview approved a park bond issue
<br />allowing the city to proceed with an
<br />aggressive park improvement schedule.
<br />These improvements include construction
<br />-n all eight parks, various trails through the
<br />::ity, and construction of the community
<br />.:anter to house a community room, multi-
<br />-itness area and leisure pool.
<br />Community Center
<br />The architects with direction from the
<br />ity council and it's supporting
<br />,ommissions and committees are currently
<br />lesigning the community center. In
<br />;ddi"n the city council has appointed a
<br />`c:, eview committee made up of
<br />Richard Wedell, mayor; Tom Simonson
<br />and Jerry Haffeman, city staff; and Sandy
<br />Martin and Marsha Soucheray, citizens
<br />members, to aid in streamlining and
<br />reviewing the community center design
<br />and construction.
<br />The community center will be made up
<br />of three component areas. One component
<br />includes a multi -use fitness area. This will
<br />include a multi-purpose gym area for
<br />basketball, volleyball, aerobics etc,; a
<br />gymnastics area elevated running track,
<br />and a fitness and exercise area with various
<br />types of equipment.
<br />Another component will be the meeting
<br />areas. This will include a community
<br />room, which will seat three hundred people
<br />and have limited kitchen facilities, and will
<br />be available for wedding receptions, large
<br />meetings, seminars or other functions. In
<br />addition there will be other smaller
<br />meeting rooms, a crafts room, preschool
<br />classroom, snack bar, skaters warming
<br />room, nursery, and games room.
<br />The most exciting component should be
<br />a leisure pool. The architects are currently
<br />researching and designing numerous
<br />features for this unique and fun pool
<br />concept. Features could include fitness
<br />swimming, water volleyball, a shallow
<br />"beach" area for general play with
<br />fountains, bubblers, and sprays plus a
<br />childrens pool with small water slide, a
<br />large water slide with plunge pool,
<br />Whirlpool/hot tub, lounge area and snack
<br />facilities, tropical plants, rock areas,
<br />tropical island motif and access in summer
<br />months to an outside deck area. The
<br />proposed schedule is to break ground in
<br />July 1989 with completion in the fall of
<br />1990.
