Another option discussed: • Correct identified issues on both the first and second floors, while at the same time relocating walls, stairs, etc. within the existing building to increase programming opportunities and to allow a wider range of activities. In this scenario the stairs would be relocated, and an elevator installed within the existing building. ($3.5 million) In this option, the exterior of the building would be rehabilitated and continue to maintain the historic look and feel. The interior of the building would provide a large open space on the main floor, approximately 800-1,000 square feet. There would also be an accessible bathroom and small catering re -heating kitchen. The second floor could have two, well-appointed, meeting rooms 300-450 square feet each. Projected programs and rentals under this scenario would include many of the same programs and rentals that occurred prior to the closure, plus some new, innovative programs. With improved facilities, possibly increased parking and heightened marketing, the revenue accrued in 2013 ($72,840) could be conservatively increased to $90,000-$100,000. Specialty contract classes have historically been a strong source of revenue for the Recreation Division. In the last few years, the revenue for specialty contract classes has been averaging about $730,000 a year. Currently, the Recreation Division is at - capacity for offering any additional classes, as there is no more programmable space available. However, there is a very strong demand by contractors and residents to offer more. A large open space at the Century House could provide an opportunity to offer the following combination of new and old programs: • Additional Lego classes, one of the most popular classes offered and frequently sold out. • eSports Programming — A growing trend for youth and young adults where players compete against each other in a variety of electronic games. • Low Impact Exercise Classes — both the indoor and outdoor space could be used to offer barre exercise classes (not currently being offered), interval training (not currently being offered), additional yoga classes and possibly even animal yoga classes, (not currently being offered). • Enrichment classes, especially during the summer months, are highly popular and could easily use the Century House for their programs. Art courses of all types are in demand. It is predicted that $10,000 alone could be gained from simply offering one week-long summer camp for 8 weeks during the summer. During the remainder of the year contract classes could be offered during the week after-school and on weekends. Page 4 of 5
