Conceptual Master Plan - Emeryville Center of Community Life

o
We can’t afford to have our schools fail and young black drop out rate of
55%. Even if we don’t have kids, it’s a civic duty, bring meaningful
space, brings a cohesive space
To Pat, thank you for answering financial questions.
To Dick, we appreciate the Washington dc and make it an earmark.

Are the schools each going to have separate principals or one for the whole site?
o At this time, one per school. But were also creating space for parents and
community interaction.
Funding answer good, but programs will be memberships?
o Rec programs as they are will be priced for residents and non-residents
Is the senior center going to stay and maintain?
o Yes, the current time is to keep it in place.
Cultural arts building stages, please explain?
o The CA building is behind city hall on 40 th and Hollis and will be a
professional PA space and stages.
o It is 75% funded and PIXAR committed make a contribution too. The rest
of the space will need funding too.
I would also like to see more yoga studios.
As a student athlete of a non-varsity sport at Cal, we always struggled to find
fields. This new field will be a great revenue generating area.
Rock climbing wall would be nice niche market to generate revenue, not many
walls in the area.
Roof top garden…is it flower or herbs/food gardens?
o Now it is a green roof, like the academy of sciences, diverts storm water
from bay
o Planters at school and rec center now, will be part of the ECCL
