Community halls are characterized by an openness to multiple programmatic arrangements. Large open spaces (made possible by timber frame construction) give communities an opportunity to gather in multiple arrangements for many purposes. A successful community hall is one that maximizes flexibility, designed to meet both contemporary and future unforeseen needs.
A grid provides a framework for flexibility within a regular increment. Applying infrastructure to a grid allows for an equal opportunity of services, which allows users to determine what they need and where they need it. This is in contrast to the standard practice of programmatic specialization, which limits the flexibility of a space.
Whitcomb Grid proposes a balanced approach to renovation, preserving the historic character of the building, while installing a series of adaptable tools (Canopy, Light, and Platform) arrayed on grids to facilitate a wide range of events and activities. The bulk of the existing hall is preserved with a 20 foot extension to the North that contains support spaces and modern equipment.
A framework of adaptable tools to support activities and events in the historic Whitcomb Hall for the next 100 years.
