This floor plan includes children's and flex galleries, an additional auditorium space and lobby/reception area, as well as a new exterior facade.

Benefits:

• Entry on west side for important solar exposure
• Vestibule with proper airlock for better temperature control

• Cafe space and seating area
• Flexible gallery 90-degree corner cuts off viewing of performance pavilion
• Added universal restrooms
• New and larger gift shop
• Staff workshop centered between galleries with good access
• West-facing loading dock and south-facing backstage with improved truck loading

Trade-offs:

• More parking required to accommodate auditorium
• Building footprint size reduces amount of parking space
• Distance between the two auditoriums
• Flexible gallery 90-degree corner cut-offs of viewing of performance pavilion
