BUILDINGS & FACILITIES MASTER PLAN

The City needs this foundation to be able to address issues for the long term, not just on a day to day

basis.

October 3, 2007

The objective of the Buildings and Facilities Master Plan was to provide the City with well-documented

recommendations for each of its buildings with the intent that these recommendations be the basis for

subsequent building/facility-specific design and construction projects.

February 25, 2009

2 44444

Within days of the flood, planners met with the City Council to receive direction regarding how Cedar

Rapids will rebuild and not only be better, but greater than before. This plan created a framework for

recovery and reinvestment planning for the entire flood impacted area.

November 12, 2008

This process allows residents to help determine what the flood affected neighborhoods will look

like. The Neighborhood Planning Process will enable us to build a greater community for the next

generation.

FIVE CATEGORIES OF BUILDING

RECOVERY

As the recovery strategies were completed for each of thebuildings or facilities, five categories of building recoveryemerged. They are:

- Major Buildings – Begin Design Immediately- Major Buildings – Design Pending External Process- Quick Start Projects – Complete Fall 2009

- Quick Start Projects – Complete 2010- Additional Evaluations Required

Today’s focus is 7 MAJOR BUILDINGS:

A MAJOR BUILDING is a facility that is typically a larger, morecostly facility that is integral to the City’s ability to provide

customer service, core operations, or is a significant contributorto the public’s quality of life. - CEDAR RAPIDS BUILDINGS & MASTER PLAN

COMMUNITY BUILDING OPTIONS

WHAT IS CO-LOCATION?

Co-location refers to more than a single building with multiple services.It can also be a campus containing multiple buildings that WORK

TOGETHER, or separate buildings that share FUNCTIONS, such as aconference room or lunch room. As separate buildings share space andfunctions, efficiency and sustainability increase.

WHY CO-LOCATE THESE DEPARTMENTS/PROGRAMS?


The COMMUNITY CENTER CONCEPT evolved into three mainfacilities which have been validated through the stakeholderinvolvement meetings conducted during the development of theBuildings & Facilities Master Plan. These stakeholders stronglysupported the ‘ONE-STOP-SHOP’ service model that wasestablished for flood recovery assistance immediately after theflood.

COMMUNITY SERVICES CENTER OPTIONCommunity Services Center:

The Community Services Center was envisioned as a single campus thatcould support administrative and customer service functions for the City,County, Cedar Rapids School District, and other similar users. It wouldhave enclosed connections between the structures and the potential forshared parking and conference facilities to maximize utilization and buildingefficiency.
