Design Development Report January 2011<br />

1.0 Project Background<br />

This scope confirmation report will outline the project process to date, including site<br />

parameters, program considerations and layouts and adjacencies.<br />

In June 2010, the <strong>Spruce</strong> <strong>Grove</strong> <strong>Aerials</strong> <strong>Gymnastics</strong> <strong>Club</strong> was given approval by the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Spruce</strong> <strong>Grove</strong> to engage an architectural consultant to begin the design and preparation<br />

<strong>of</strong> the tender documents for a new facility.<br />

This project will form the new home and a launching point for the future <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Aerials</strong><br />

gymnastics club. <strong>The</strong> building will be owned and managed by the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Spruce</strong> <strong>Grove</strong><br />

while the <strong>Aerials</strong> <strong>Gymnastics</strong> <strong>Club</strong> will hold a long-term lease. Maintenance and utilities<br />

costs will be the responsibility <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Aerials</strong>.<br />

Considerable input has been received through the <strong>Aerials</strong>’ building committee with<br />

respect to gymnastics equipment layout as well as overall goals and desired outcomes<br />

for the facility as a whole and the individual spaces.<br />

Preliminary budget costing has been prepared by CSC Consulting and the construction<br />

budget has been determined at $5.025 million.<br />

<strong>The</strong> design team is poised to advance into tender documents, including construction<br />

drawings and specifications. A topographic survey has been completed for the site and<br />

preliminary geotechnical testing will be completed shortly.<br />

<strong>The</strong> project team consists <strong>of</strong> the following key players:<br />

<strong>Aerials</strong> <strong>Gymnastics</strong><br />

Lindsay Kiezik, Building Committee Chair, <strong>Aerials</strong> <strong>Gymnastics</strong><br />

Glennyce Cochrane, <strong>Club</strong> Manager, <strong>Aerials</strong> <strong>Gymnastics</strong><br />

Design Development Report January 2011<br />

2.0 Site Parameters<br />

<strong>The</strong> site is a 7 acre parcel <strong>of</strong> land and is located on the South side <strong>of</strong> the existing parking<br />

lot for the Tri-Leisure Centre and on the East side <strong>of</strong> the Fuhr Sports Fields. <strong>The</strong> site is<br />

bordered on the East by Jennifer Heil Way and an existing residential development to<br />

the South. Site access will be through the existing intersection for the Tri-Leisure Centre.<br />

<strong>The</strong> site is currently zoned as Municipal Reserve. <strong>The</strong> portion <strong>of</strong> the site that the<br />

gymnastics facility will occupy will continue to be zoned MR but the rest <strong>of</strong> the site<br />

will be rezoned for commercial development. <strong>The</strong> gymnastics facility is part <strong>of</strong> a<br />

larger development on the site which will encompass commercial, retail and a hotel<br />

development. <strong>The</strong> gymnastics building will occupy the South-West corner <strong>of</strong> the<br />

development site. Provision will be made for approximately 80 parking stalls that are<br />

dedicated to the gymnastics building but this will be confirmed with the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Spruce</strong><br />

<strong>Grove</strong> land-use bylaws with regards to on-site parking and loading regulations. A further<br />

200 stalls are identified for the rest <strong>of</strong> the buildings on the site. No parking agreements<br />

will be in place to use the existing Tri-Leisure Centre parking although limited<br />

agreements could possibly be made during gymnastics meets when a high occupant<br />

load is expected. Because an access agreement is in place with the Tri-Leisure Centre, the<br />

site design will require their approval.<br />

Design Development Report January 2011<br />

<strong>The</strong> site has been used to store fill from surrounding developments and as such has<br />

been built up higher than the surrounding area. <strong>The</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Spruce</strong> <strong>Grove</strong> Engineering<br />

Department has indicated that the site soils have been compacted but preliminary<br />

geotechnical investigations will be required to determine the make-up <strong>of</strong> the soil. Based<br />

upon these initial results, further testing will be undertaken once the building footprint<br />

location is finalized. In addition, previous geotechnical reports <strong>of</strong> the Fuhr Sports Fields<br />

have been reviewed in order to get general information on the soils in the area for<br />

comparison. Test reports from the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Spruce</strong> <strong>Grove</strong> Engineering Department will<br />

also be reviewed to determine the compaction <strong>of</strong> the soil.<br />

A topographic survey has been completed which also locates all existing infrastructure<br />

servicing surrounding the site.<br />

<strong>The</strong> site has an existing drainage swale on the West side <strong>of</strong> the site that drains to the<br />

existing residential dry pond on the South side <strong>of</strong> the site. However, the dry pond is not<br />

sized to allow for run-<strong>of</strong>f from the site so storm water will need to be retained on site.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is no storm water retention plans in place in the <strong>City</strong>’s infrastructure so on-site<br />

retention will need to be implemented.<br />

<strong>The</strong> site currently has no infrastructure servicing. An existing water line runs along the<br />

North property line <strong>of</strong> the site and the sanitary line is on the East side <strong>of</strong> Jennifer Heil<br />

Way although plans are in place to bring the sanitary line to the East side <strong>of</strong> the road.<br />

<strong>The</strong> construction <strong>of</strong> the building will be undertaken at the same time as the remainder <strong>of</strong><br />

the site is developed.<br />

<strong>Spruce</strong> <strong>Grove</strong> <strong>Aerials</strong> <strong>Gymnastics</strong> <strong>Club</strong><br />

Design Development Report January 2011<br />

3.0 Program Considerations<br />

This project needs to speak to the members <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Aerials</strong> <strong>Gymnastics</strong> <strong>Club</strong>. It must<br />

transcend the simple objective <strong>of</strong> being functional and become a place that has identity<br />

and fosters pride. When this is in place, the best performance will be realized.<br />

<strong>The</strong> major challenge <strong>of</strong> the programming will be in accommodating both training and<br />

competitions throughout the year. Although for the majority <strong>of</strong> the year this facility<br />

will be geared towards serving competitive training and recreation with relatively low<br />

occupancy loads for athletes and spectators, the building will also house gymnastics<br />

meets throughout the year which will have a high occupancy load. <strong>The</strong> challenge<br />

is to design a building that can accommodate these peak loads while maintaining<br />

functionality during the rest <strong>of</strong> the year. This will also necessitate flexible security<br />

boundaries and controls.<br />

Site tours were conducted at existing facilities to aid in planning the programming,<br />

layouts and adjacencies <strong>of</strong> the new facility. <strong>The</strong> facilities toured were Exelta <strong>Gymnastics</strong><br />

<strong>Club</strong> in Red Deer and Airdrie Edge <strong>Gymnastics</strong> in Airdrie.<br />

<strong>The</strong> majority <strong>of</strong> the facility is on one level to provide direct adjacencies between the<br />

gymnastics space and the administration and support spaces. <strong>The</strong> only functions on the<br />

mezzanine are the spectator area and the mechanical / electrical rooms.<br />

A finalized layout <strong>of</strong> the gymnastics equipment has been provided by <strong>Aerials</strong> <strong>Gymnastics</strong>.<br />

ONPA will contact the equipment suppliers to confirm dimensions and support<br />

requirements as the project progresses.<br />

Since this facility will be used for high-level competition, the design will meet all the<br />

criteria set forth by the governing bodies and <strong>Aerials</strong> <strong>Gymnastics</strong>.<br />

Natural light will be incorporated into the interior spaces as much as possible, including<br />

the gymnastics area.<br />

<strong>The</strong> building will front all sides <strong>of</strong> the site as the site will be surrounded by residential<br />

areas, playing fields, the Tri-Leisure Centre and the planned hotel. As such, consideration<br />

will be made to provide pleasant facades on all four sides.<br />

Please refer to the following program summary for more detail on the individual spaces<br />

and sizes.<br />

<strong>Spruce</strong> <strong>Grove</strong> <strong>Aerials</strong> <strong>Gymnastics</strong> <strong>Club</strong><br />

Design Development Report January 2011<br />

4.0 Building Design<br />

<strong>The</strong> predominant space <strong>of</strong> the building will be the gymnastics area. This will be the<br />

functional centre <strong>of</strong> the building and will also act as circulation for the adjacent support<br />

and administration spaces.<br />

<strong>The</strong> foyer will act as the main circulation node for the building. This will be where<br />

the athletes and parents are separated. Parents will accompany the athletes into the<br />

building and also the change areas to help smaller children. <strong>The</strong> entry into the main<br />

gymnastics space will be where the separation between athlete and parent begins. Past<br />

this point, the children will be in a secure and safe area and under coaching supervision.<br />

<strong>The</strong> reception area is intended to be the entry to the administration areas and will have<br />

the ability to be closed <strong>of</strong>f when not in use.<br />

It is expected that 30 athletes will be using the change areas at a time. However, the<br />

change area for the female athletes will be larger than for the male athletes.<br />

<strong>The</strong> playschool will be designed to provincial standards and will be accessible from the<br />

main gymnastics area. Currently there are 11 children but the space will be designed to<br />

accommodate 17.<br />

<strong>Spruce</strong> <strong>Grove</strong> <strong>Aerials</strong> <strong>Gymnastics</strong> <strong>Club</strong><br />

Design Development Report January 2011<br />

<strong>The</strong> gymnastics area will have a circulation area around the perimeter <strong>of</strong> the equipment<br />

to allow athletes access to various areas without interfering with other activities. <strong>The</strong>re<br />

will be two below-grade pits filled with foam cubes. A 2.44m (8’-0”) climbing wall will<br />

be adjacent to one <strong>of</strong> the pits. Lockers for competitive athletes will be provided in the<br />

gymnastics space. <strong>The</strong> gymnastics area will have a clear height <strong>of</strong> 9.45m (30’-0”). This<br />

will provide enough clearance to accommodate future programs that may be delivered<br />

by the <strong>Club</strong>.<br />

<strong>The</strong> aim is to have most administration and support areas with direct access to the<br />

gymnastics space. Direct access has been provided to the gymnastics space for the<br />

coaches <strong>of</strong>fices, dance studio, gymnastics storage and playschool.<br />

<strong>The</strong> spectator mezzanine will partially overhang the support spaces below and provide a<br />

covered circulation area on one side <strong>of</strong> the gymnastics area. A clear dimension <strong>of</strong> 4.73m<br />

(15’-0”) will be provided from the main floor with a floor to floor height <strong>of</strong> 5.14m (17’-0”)<br />

and an approximate height <strong>of</strong> 6.41m (21’-0”) at eye level. This information was obtained<br />

from the Airdrie Edge <strong>Gymnastics</strong> <strong>Club</strong> and was seen as being ideal for maintaining<br />

visual separation from the spectators and the athletes.<br />

5.0 Technical Description<br />

ARCHITECTURAL<br />

Building Exterior and Building Envelope<br />

Low or no maintenance products have been selected to reduce long-term maintenance<br />

costs and provide finishes that will keep their appearance over a long period <strong>of</strong> time. All<br />

exterior walls are designed to incorporate rain screen principal methods. <strong>The</strong> exterior<br />

wall construction will be metal clad and masonry veneers over rigid insulation and metal<br />

infill framing with a steel structure.<br />

Exterior Doors and Windows<br />

Exterior doors will be insulated hollow metal in pressed steel frames. Windows will<br />

be conventional aluminum section anodized or pre-finished, with tempered glazing.<br />

Opening sashes will be provided as required to provide ventilation and temperature<br />

control for the users.<br />

Ro<strong>of</strong><br />

Sloped ro<strong>of</strong> portions will be pre-finished metal. Flat ro<strong>of</strong> areas will be 2 ply SBS ro<strong>of</strong>ing.<br />

SBS ro<strong>of</strong>ing system slopes will be achieved by sloping the structure wherever practical.<br />

Some tapered insulation may be required on areas where the sloped deck adds<br />

unnecessary complication to the structure and for back slopes to drains.<br />

<strong>Spruce</strong> <strong>Grove</strong> <strong>Aerials</strong> <strong>Gymnastics</strong> <strong>Club</strong><br />

Design Development Report January 2011<br />

Interior Construction and Finishes<br />

Interior partitions will be predominantly steel stud and gypsum board unless subsequent<br />

discussions indicate that masonry walls are required in some specific areas. An STC rating<br />

<strong>of</strong> 45 will be provided for all administration <strong>of</strong>fices and meeting rooms. <strong>The</strong> floor <strong>of</strong> the<br />

gymnastics area will be concrete with a thin composite covering – further discussion will<br />

be undertaken as to whether this will be sheet flooring, carpeting or exposed concrete.<br />

<strong>The</strong> flooring in the administration areas will be carpet while the flooring in the public<br />

areas will be sheet flooring or exposed concrete. Ceilings will be a combination <strong>of</strong><br />

acoustic ceiling tiles and exposed painted structure. In areas where reverberation is a<br />

concern, acoustic decking will be provided.<br />

<strong>The</strong> two 6’-0” deep below-grade pits in the gymnastics area will have a floor construction<br />

<strong>of</strong> a layer <strong>of</strong> car tires with a layer <strong>of</strong> ½” plywood above and a layer <strong>of</strong> stiff foam above that.<br />

<strong>The</strong> remaining 5’-0” depth <strong>of</strong> the pit will be filled with foam cubes.<br />

Building Code<br />

<strong>The</strong> building will be classified under the 2006 Alberta Building Code by Article 3.2..2.26-<br />

Group A2 – up to 3 storeys – Sprinklered:<br />

- Faces 2 streets<br />

- 1 storey with mechanical / viewing mezzanine<br />

- Combustible and non-combustible construction<br />

- 1 hour floor assemblies, including respective load-bearing elements<br />

- Non-rated ro<strong>of</strong><br />

- Exiting distance (3.4.2.5.1C) is 45 metres<br />

- Number <strong>of</strong> water closets required by code: 2 male / 4 female.<br />

Vertical Circulation<br />

<strong>The</strong> aim is to limit the size <strong>of</strong> the mezzanine so that an elevator is not necessary. Barrierfree<br />

access will be provided to the first floor <strong>of</strong> the building.<br />

<strong>The</strong> design code for this project will be based on the Alberta Building Code 2006.<br />

Material Codes shall be as follows:<br />

1. CAN/CSA S16.01 - Limited States Design <strong>of</strong> Steel Structures.<br />

2. CAN/CSA A23.3-04 - Design <strong>of</strong> Concrete Structures.<br />

3. CAN/CSA A23.1-04 - Concrete Materials and Methods <strong>of</strong> Concrete<br />

Construction.<br />

.4 CAN/CSA A23.2-04 - Methods <strong>of</strong> Test and Standard Practice for Concrete<br />

Design Superimposed Loads shall be as follows:<br />

Live Loads (kPa)<br />

Dead Loads (kPa)<br />

Ro<strong>of</strong> 1.54 1.5<br />

Mezzanine 4.8 0.5<br />

Stairs & Exits 4.8 -<br />

Design lateral loading shall be based upon the requirements established by the Alberta<br />

Building Code and shall be governed by either wind and /or seismic forces. Various types<br />

<strong>of</strong> demand from the gymnastics equipment that are attached to the ro<strong>of</strong> (eg. Ropes,<br />

bungees, rings, etc.) will be identified.<br />

Based upon our previous experience with building design in the Edmonton and <strong>Spruce</strong><br />

grove area, it is anticipated that foundations shall consist <strong>of</strong> cast in place concrete drilled<br />

end bearing piles. It is our understanding that geotechnical reports do exist for building<br />

in the immediate adjacent areas, however we would recommend that a Geotechnical<br />

Consultant be engaged to provide site specific recommendations upon which the<br />

consultants can base their design.<br />

5.3 MECHANICAL<br />

Mechanical systems for this facility will be selected in order to achieve a LEED<br />

silver rating. Air system will be located in the Mechanical Room and be ducted to<br />

displacement air grilles at low levels in all rooms. Air system will use 100% outside air<br />

with heat recovery. Plumbing systems will utilize low consumption fixtures c/w high<br />

efficiency water heater. Building heating system will utilize two medium efficient boilers<br />

and distribution pumps to heating radiant panels in the various spaces. Controls will be<br />

direct digital type.<br />

5.4 ELECTRICAL<br />

<strong>The</strong> electrical service and distribution for this building will include a utility fed<br />

transformer supplying a 120/208 volt, 3 phase, 4 wire secondary power service to a main<br />

distribution centre located in the Electrical Room. Branch circuit panelboards will be<br />

used to feed downstream devices such as mechanical loads, fluorescent lighting and<br />

duplex receptacles. A motor control center fed via the main distribution panel will be<br />

used to supply power to required mechanical loads. Duplex receptacles will be provided<br />

throughout the building for convenience, and as required by the identified building<br />

equipment. Lighting will be fluorescent throughout including high bay T5 fluorescent<br />

fixtures in the main gymnasium with T8 fluorescent fixtures throughout the remaining<br />

support spaces. Lighting controls will include microphonic/IR occupancy sensors in the<br />

main gymnasium and washroom/change room areas and occupancy sensors in the <strong>of</strong>fice<br />

and common areas. <strong>The</strong> gymnasium will have three level lighting and the remaining<br />

<strong>of</strong>fice, change room and common areas will be two level lighting. <strong>The</strong> main gymnasium<br />

will also have daylight sensors incorporated to account for additional daylight through<br />

the proposed windows. Emergency and exit lighting will be supplied in accordance with<br />

the requirements <strong>of</strong> the Alberta Building Standards, with the use <strong>of</strong> battery power as<br />

backup.<br />

Telephone service and distribution will include a utility feed to the main Telephone/<br />

Data backboard in the Electrical Room, from which point an empty conduit system will<br />

be provided throughout the building to serve outlets in <strong>of</strong>fice areas and other areas as<br />

required. <strong>The</strong> fire alarm and smoke detection system will be a class A system with battery<br />

backup and will include a main panel at the front entrance with initiating and signaling<br />

devices as required based on the code. <strong>The</strong> building and gymnasium sound systems<br />

will be provided for as directed by the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Spruce</strong> <strong>Grove</strong>. Electrical systems will be<br />

designed in this building in order to achieve a LEED Silver rating.<br />
