and possibly semi-permanent exhibits and/or experiences
New enclosed building(s)Allowing for first‐‐‐‐floor visitor ”Info” center and restrooms
Police offices & Security offices were omitted from the program due to size requirements.

Large, open, flexible, ground floor plan with a useable 2nd-level mezzanine overlooking the main hall.
All doors/entrance flush to exterior grade boardwalk.
Ground level roofs; corrugated metal ‘shanty’ material.
Upper roofs; metal standing-seam.
Internal and externally-accessed public toilets; for the building users and Canalside visitors.

Buffalo, New YorkLongshed Use Assumptions
Year-round usage opportunities!
First use is designed as an “Artisan Factory” for the purposes of constructing a replica canal boat.Buffalo Maritime Center will be the initial tenant, with a 3-
year lease arrangement to build a replica of NY Governor DeWitt Clinton's packet boat
Toilets will be first sized for “factory” use in order to maximize useable floor area; two (2) ADA.
Future renovation (following boat building) will add another six (6) toilets, for a total of eight (8), to accommodate various “Assembly” within the building as well as public uses for visitors to Canalside.
