Building Area: Administration

Introduction to the Administration

The Administration Area is the business end of the rest of the Community

Growth Center. The Administration Area provides management, event scheduling,

and finances for the rest of the CGC. It is located at the east end of the building and

is next to the daycare. This chapter will go over the purposes, areas, and the core

focus of the Administration Area.

Purpose of the Administration Area

The Administration Area purpose is to oversee the operations of the entire

CGC. It focuses on the providing the CGC with office space, event scheduling,

financial development, and a space for administrative duties. These four focuses

enable the CGC to continue operation far into the future and build connections with

the community.

Office Space

The Administration Area is the location of the office areas for the Daycare,

Makerspace, Finances, Event Coordinator, and the Center Director. Each of these

have their own office in this area for their head person. There is also an additional

office and workstation that can be used when needed. Due to the distance from this

office area and their unique needs the Urban Agriculture Center and the Recreation

and Aquatic Center has an office in their areas.

Event Scheduling

115
 The CGC is a massive building that would have a variety of events happening

throughout it. To leave scheduling of the events that happen throughout the center to

each area would cause issues. To help keep the areas running smoothly a position

dedicated to schedule the events throughout the space is needed. This position

would also oversee the events that are run outside of the CGC but are still promoted

by the CGC.

Financial Development

To keep the CGC financially viable there is a Financial office. This position is

needed to run the entire facility. It will assist in fundraising, running finance classes,

and keep payroll for the entire CGC. This position will allow for the CGC to grow and

give the community financial advice to help give them the tools to have a better life.

Spaces for Administrative Duties

As mentioned before the Urban Agriculture Center and the Recreation and

Aquatic Center has their own offices. These offices will be used for the everyday

workings of these areas. The main administration area is the location of the copy

and break room. As well as the conference rooms for CGC official business. This

reduces the expenses of having multiple office supplies in the building.

square footage of 3,724.

Administration Area Conclusion

The administration area is the

center of business for the CGC. It is

where the business side of every area of

the CGC is developed and grown at. This

is vital to the continuing growth of the

CGC and the surrounding community by

taking this growth and funneling it back

into the development and evolution of the

CGC. Thus increasing the impact of the

CGC in the surrounding community and

beyond.
