tracplan500Jamestown (CSi)  Community members had questions, as architect  Brian Berg from Zerr Berg Architects Tuesday evening  displayed  the current design for the Two Rivers Activity Center.  About 40 individuals were in attendance, at the Jamestown Farmers Union location.

Berg outlined the cost, size and future projects with the TRAC facility.

Berg wants to receive continued public input and revise plans to suit residents needs

The public asked questions about the size of the swimming pool and the need for added childcare space.

One resident believes that TRAC’s  focus is only  team sports rather  than a family focus.

The architect will be available for another public forum on the design of the center, centering on the aquatics center, at the next public input meeting set for  July 8, 2015  at the Thompson Meeting Room at Jamestown Middle School, at 7-pm.

Jamestown (CSi) The Two Rivers Activity Center (TRAC) Board of Directors has set two Public Input Forums, to give the final details for the interior design of the Two Rivers Activity Center.

The next public forum will be:

7pm Wed July 8
Thompson Room Jamestown Middle School
203 2nd Ave SE –  Jamestown

At the Forums, will be Zerr Berg Architects, Principal Architect Brian Berg.

The next five to six weeks will be spent reviewing the basic plan and developing a schematic design, which includes conceptual plans and floor plans for the project but not detailed designs or specifications.

Possible public input may be included in the schematic design. After review and approval from the TRAC Board and Jamestown Parks and Recreation Commission, the architect and engineers would move on to the design development stage where more detailed plans are developed by the beginning of September.

The architect would then develop construction documents through the winter with the project going for bids in January 2016 and construction starting in May 2016.

The TRAC Board and Jamestown Parks and Recreation will choose a three- or four-person building committee to meet with the architect every two weeks during the planning process.

Zerr Berg Architects will also assist Parks and Recreation in developing the interview process to select an engineering firm to assist in the management of the construction project.

Jamestown voters approved a 1 percent sales tax to pay for construction of TRAC on June 2. The $28.6 million facility will serve as a community and activity center. TRAC will include basketball courts, weight rooms, an exercise track, pool and water features and an indoor turf field under a dome.
