General Preferences for Design of Facility
It is the general preferece for the new design of the facility that accomodation be made for at least two floors. We see the treatment facility in the upstairs area which will be accessible by elevator or by wheelchair accessible means. Accordinfly, the following can be designed in the new facility:
Main Floor
Administration Offices (330 sq. m.)
Outreach Program (425 sq. m.)
Recreation Area (Pool, Gym, Sauna & Hot Tub) (400 sq. m.)
Board Room (80 sq. m.)
Women & Youth Healing Progranm (320 sq. m.)
New Areas of Consideration (150 sq. m.)
Professional Clinic & Personnel (310 sq. m.)
Storage Space & Emerency (200 sq. m.)
TOTAL SPACE - APPROX. 2,215 SQ.M.
Second Floor
Pritchard House Treatment With Offices & 40-bed Facility Including Kitchen & Dining Areas (2,285 sq.m.)
TOTAL - APPROXIMATELY 2,285 SQ.M.
CONCLUSION
There would be flexibility, however, in doing the actual design of the facility in order to accommodate all of these respective components. The estimates, upon second consideration, may not be completely accurate, they do express that space is requireds to meet certain occupancy objective.
Once the design of the facility has been achieved to everyone's satisfaction, along with the projected cost estimates, N.A.C.M., along with all partiies, will endeavour to finance the construction of the facility.
