BUILDINGINFORMATION:
The Veteran’s Memorial Building provided a central location for many city services prior to the Flood of 2008. Thebuilding, however, prevented expansion of many program and departmental spaces due to its site constraints andhistoric nature. At the heart of the building lies expansive public event spaces, which can affect the operation of internalservice departments and necessary space adjacencies. To encroach on the public event spaces with internal spaceneeds would be a detriment to the historic nature of the structure.

SITE:POST-FLOODCONSIDERATIONS:
The below-grade and ground levels of the Veteran’s Memorial Building are at the greatest risk for damage due to futureflood events. As May’s Island and the Veteran’s Memorial Building are not protected by flood mitigation technologyalong the Cedar River, the building carries an inherent risk for future occupants. The planned flood mitigation strategiesdesigned to protect the greater Cedar Rapids Area may in fact increase flood event damage on May’s Island as water ischanneled through and away from the urban core.= USABLE SPACE: 53,834 SF(NON CRITICAL FUNCTION& FLOOD OF 2008 EXTENTS)= USABLE SPACE: 36,884 SF
