Subject: Rambling River Center Facility Master Plan
Meeting: Rambling River Center Advisory Board - Dec 11 2023
INTRODUCTION:
One of the Rambling River Center Advisory Board's (RRCAB) work plan goals for this year is to
create programming and improvements, configuration, building for plan master a future
opportunities.
DISCUSSION:
JLG Architects have been working on a draft concept plan based off their observations, programs
and participation, facility and room measurements, and the input provided by Rambling River
Center members at the meeting on October 31. Highlights of the draft concept plan and new layout
include:
•The main entry moves to the other vestibule to have an open area with the reception desk and one
office in what is currently the Jack and Bev McKnight Fitness Room.
•The lobby area has space for a coffee machine and lounge seating.
•Open the wall with double doors leading to the right where the current reception / office area is
located, will have open space for the Jerry Ristow Library and quiet lounge space.
•The old vestibule could have coat racks and serve the multipurpose room.
•Relocate the enclosed Jerry Ristow Library from the Empire Room and create a large space with a
folding divider so the space can be used as one large room or two smaller rooms for activities for
flexibility.
•Remove the workroom and one smaller office to create a game room for noisier activities (the plan
shows a pool table and ping pong table; dashed lines around indicate required clearances for
these). The space could also have seating for watching or waiting to play.
•Add a hallway to the Recreation Supervisor’s office and workroom. The Nicolai Board Room
remains but shows replacing the exterior door with a window.
•Heading down the hall toward the Ross Arts and Crafts room, open the hallway (where the coffee
area is) and take three of four garage stalls to create a larger Jack and Bev McKnight Fitness
Room. Enclose the sprinkler riser in garage. The garage doors would be removed and replaced
with big windows.
•Outside the Jack and Bev McKnight Fitness Room, would be a single occupant accessible
restroom.
•One garage stall remains along with the storage room.
•In the train area, remove the holding celling and plumbing chase for a more open area but left
Page 10 of 24
some of the smaller storage rooms.
•Toward the banquet space, shift the door separating it from the rest of the RRC which allows
access to the new single occupant accessible restroom. Then shift the kitchen a bit and have the
walls run up to the ceiling for better sound control.
•The banquet room remains about the same size, but consolidate the storage at the far end.
Shows removing the vestibule to improve flow of the space.
•Added two doors to a patio outside of the banquet space and would do things to enhance the
green space for activities.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Advisory board members should come to the meeting prepared to discuss the draft concept plan,
ask any questions they have, and provide feedback on the concept plan.
