1.2 MULTI-USE FACILITY SPECIALISTS
Agencies that deliver community services through integrated partnerships face unique challenges.
Multiple -programming for the Davidson Centre will add an element of complexity to the design and
functionality of the building. Therefore, your project will benefit from the leadership of experienced
multi -use facility specialists.
The Ventin Group pioneered the concept of "Community- based Multi -use Facilities" beginning in the
late 1980' s. The firm was instrumental in the initiation and successful completion of the
Ontario Ministry of Education Pilot Project for Multi -use Facilities, in Stratford, in 1993.
This project involved two secondary schools. public and Catholic, united by a central Public Library.
Since then. the firm has participated in many multi -use projects, in Ontario and abroad. and has
adapted the concept for a wide range of building typologies.
Our design for Cedar Street Family Medical Centre. in Simcoe.
demonstrates an early application of the Multi -use concept:
Family Medical
Doctors
Sutton Multi-use Complex was the first Multi-use facility to
incorporate entirely new amenities for every Stakeholder group.
The complex includes a Public Library, two elementary schools,
a municipal pool, childcare centre and community meeting
rooms.
Visiting
Specialist
Rooms
Laboratory
Early in the design process. it became clear that existing Building Code legislation was obsolete, in
terms of Multi -use design. A presentation by The Ventin Group to the Code Committee accelerated
beneficial changes to Code regulations pertaining to Multi -use buildings.
By participating in Centre ~ooo Multi -use Complex, in Erin, Wellington County was able to double the
original planned size of the Erin Branch Library. Most recently, TVG worked with Wellington County
as Prime Consultant for the new Clifford Multi-use Public Library I Medical Clinic:
Sutton Multl.use Education / Recreatlon Complex

2.0 Approach & Methodology
2.1 OUR ApPROACH TO YOUR PROJECT
I t is important that the new centre reflect and satisfy the needs of the Kincardine community rather
than a designer's or politician's vision of an ideal facility. Input from city recreation staff, community
groups and interested users will be gathered, in order to successfully design a facility that creatively
combines all the required elements.
2.1.1 Consultative Design
I Facilitation I
t
I Understanding I
.
I Information
. . . .
~@@@@
"'-J~~t1
Draft
The Design Team will employ a process based upon consultative design.
We will lead your project by implementing a step - by-step workplan,
driven by effective communication. This inclusive process, involving
your Staff and Stakeholders in all aspects of the decision making
process, will contribute most to the design solution. We will
provide a complete solution that will be viable and adaptable
to requirements distilled at the design development stage
And through Stakeholder participation. Stakeholder
Ideas & Input
We are Client Advocates, first and foremost. We will arrange
Meetings, provide contact lists and all required documentation.
The job of Staff and Stakeholders is to share your ideas and input.
.
2.1.2 Maintenance & Operating Cost
Stakeholders
Review & Input
Our approach to design is to plan the very best facilitypossiblewithin
the established budget. We will review materials and systems with
Municipal staff and provide life - cycle costingto determine the optimum
products available within the budget. Cost and energy-efficient, environmentally
responsible materials, and mechanical and electrical equipment will be provided.
t
Design
2.1.3 Cost&ScheduleControl
Our technique for cost control is to prepare regularly updated estimates, comparing each estimate
To the original budget and identify variances, and adjusting designs to meet budget estimates, and
carefully managing the design contingency. We will ensure that the project manager is aware where
the costs are. and have an open and frank discussions on what can be delivered for what price.

2.2 PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
2.2.1 Flexible and Adaptable Space
Acommunitycentre must have the flexibility to caterto
a wide range of users and activities. F1exibilitygives
more users. more choice in where group activities.
events, work and play take place. From moveable
walls and screens, adjacent and interconnected
spaces. and easilymovedfurniture. many spatial
transformations are possible. Reconfiguation is
essential to supportingvarious user styles and needs.
Providing adaptabilityforthe future is an important
component in responsible planning and design.
Considerations such as changingdemographics
require implementation of strategic design.
Room sizes. spaces and building structure would
allowthe possibilityofturninga seniors' centre
into a child - centered facility.
2.2.2 Barrier-Free Design
.
Flexible Meeting Rooms. Roekwood OPP Station
The Ventin Group incorporates barrier-free design expertise in all of our institutional. commercial
and residential projects. We recognize that barrier-free design strives to make the built environment
accessible and useable by all persons. It promotes integration and independence through design that
is safe. functional and dignified for everyone. Our barrier-free design methods meet or exceed the
standards set by national and provincial building codes.
TVG Architects used an innovative approach in
suggesting a simple program relocation in an
existing building to facilitate better access for
2 user groups. This had the benefit of moving
the Library to an accessible floor level and
positioning the Kindergarten immediately
adjacent to a new courtyard play area. where
barrier free access could now be gained
through the courtyard. from the new addition.
