CEDAR RAPIDS BUILDINGS & FACILITIES MASTER PLAN

COMMUNITY FACILITIES

The OBJECTIVE of the Buildings & Facilities Master Plan was to provide the city with welldocumented RECOMMENDATIONS for each of its buildings with the intent that these recommendations be the basis for the subsequent building/facility-specific design and construction projects. Recovery STRATEGIES were developed for each project. [ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL _ 2009]

TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE APPROACH The Triple Bottom Line analysis method uses a multi-criteria assessment approach for

EVALUATING ALTERNATIVES or options based on ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL, and SOCIAL impacts.

WHAT IS CO-LOCATION? Co-location refers to more than a single building with multiple services. It can also be a campus containing multiple buildings that WORK TOGETHER, or separate buildings that share FUNCTIONS, such as a conference room or lunch room. As separate buildings share space and functions, efficiency and sustainability increase.

WHY CO-LOCATE THESE DEPARTMENTS/PROGRAMS? The COMMUNITY CENTER CONCEPT evolved into three main facilities which have been validated through the stakeholder involvement meetings conducted during the development of the Buildings & Facilities Master Plan. These stakeholders strongly supported the ‘ONE-STOP-SHOP’ service model that was established for flood recovery assistance immediately after the flood.

Economic (long term efficiencies). In addition to reduced square footage in terms of initial building costs, the long-term savings in operating expenses due to reduced area and improved systems can be substantial. Shared commons and support services can be attractive amenities at a larger scale facility and, along with day-lighting and other sustainable initiatives, can greatly improve staff productivity. Recent studies have shown that the cost of an employee is 100 X the energy cost of a building; therefore, anything that can be done to improve employee performance will be even more cost effective than improvements to building
