3.10 1 Planetarium 1,000 400 1,400 Seating for 50 and workstation for operator. Needs access when museum is not open for potentially separate admission fee. Tilted Perf Aluminum
dome typical. Dome Control Room is about 200 sf; 800sf with 50 ppl = 16sf/person. Flat seating allows more flexibility with removable seating

(could use 7.02 shared space). Hex or circle group stations + room for parents. Facilitation area + area on floor for smaller kids. Operable walls
separates each for flexibility. Sink access needed. Demonstration area opening onto classroom. Lots of glass is distracting for students, but good for
events. Shades or varying types of glazing preferred. Include Digital Recording Studio

SOUTH SIDE
OPPORTUNITIES:
• Civic & Arts corridor/connection to Thalian Hall
• Loading could be accommodated within the
parking deck
• Relatively consistent grade along Chestnut Street

CONSTRAINTS:
• Te m p o ra r y l o c a t i o n f o r l i b ra r y – d i s r u p t i o n o f
service & availability of suitable space downtown
• South light is more difficult to control
• School bus stacking /staging extends onto 3rd
Street

+
5. SITE ANALYSIS

NORTH SIDE
OPPORTUNITIES:
• North light is more consistent throughout the day
& less harsh (easier to control & lower solar heat
gain)
• School bus stacking /staging along 2nd and Grace
Streets
• Grade change from 3rd to 2nd could provide
opportunity for increased floor -to-floor height or
partial level accessible from 2nd Street
• High visibility to visitors entering from I -40

CONSTRAINTS:
• Loading cannot be accommodated within the
p a r k i n g d e c k – n e e d s t o b e i n c o r p o ra t e d i n t o n e w
building footprint
• Access from parking deck to new building is more
indirect
• Borst Building – work around it or demolish it
