Happy Valley–Goose Bay (HVGB) residents are passionate about their community. The huge amount of support and feedback received from the public consultation efforts – initial stakeholder meetings, on-line survey and the design charrette – illustrates how much the residents want to be involved in planning their new wellness centre. We have received feedback covering everything fromthesizesofindividualrooms,toprogramofferings,operationalconsiderationsandfinances.What has been extremely clear is that the residents of HVGB want a facility that is designed to meet their needs now and into the future.

Thisreportisspecifictothefuturebuilt-facility.Itcombinesalloftheinformationandfeedbackre-ceived thus far and distills that information into a comprehensive program document for the new wellness centre. The elements within this program have been selected in collaboration with the council, staff and residents of HVGB and is the culmination of nearly a year of studies and evalua-tions of HVGB’s current wellness and recreation assets and the community’s future needs.

There have been many great ideas presented and this document aims to align the desires of the townwithanaffordableandefficientsetofspacesthatwillbestsuittheneedsofthecommunity.

While many decisions have yet to be made, this document provides a realistic assessment of the town’s options for the wellness centre and will act as a starting point for future discussions as the project moves into the concept design phase.

“WE HAVE A GREAT TOWN FILLED WITH AMAZING AND DEDICATED INDIVIDUALS. GROWING UP WE WERE PROVIDED WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO TAKE PART IN A WIDE VARIETY OF SPORTS AND ACTIVITIES. WE NEED THE FACILITIES TO CONTINUE TO GIVE OUR KIDS AND OURSELVES THAT SAME OPPORTUNITY”- HVGB RESIDENT

INTRODUCTION1.1

COMMUNITY SPACE

In consultation with the town council, staff and residents of HVGB through the on-line survey and the design charrette, it became clear that there is a need for community spaces that go beyond the traditional scope of an athletic facility which only provides room for exercise or sports. Spaces like a cafeteria that serves healthy options, a licensed childcare centre, indoor playground, communitykitchen,multipurposerooms,teenspaceandcommercialspacesrelatedtohealth,fitnessandrecreationwouldallmeet needs that are currently under-served by the town’s existing infrastructure.

One idea that emerged is the creation of a Community Hub at the heart of the wellness centre that would provide a central lo-cation to house and/or provide access to these community oriented spaces. The community hub would also act as a transition space, facilitating access to viewing areas for the larger event spaces like the gymnasium, pool, arena and curling rink. This central space could connect all major aspects of the wellness centre and help create a synergy among the different community organizations and events.

The community hub would be directly adjacent to the canteen and café area. It would provide families with a space to con-gregate and relax as well as allowing parents to remain connected with children participating in various activities. A teen space would give the youth of HGVB a safe place to meet and hang out. By virtue of it being in the same building, it may introduce themtotheavailablefitnessactivities,thusencouragingparticipation.

HVGB is in need of more licensed child care. A 2008 Labrador Regional Recreational Facilities Study by Hatch Mott MacDonald indicated that there were just two licensed childcare centres in the community, both completely full with as many as 40 families on waiting lists. The report recommended that the future childcare needs of local families be factored into the planning of a new recreation centre. A new 60 space child care centre that could take advantage of the wellness centre’s indoor playground, swimming pools and other amenities would be great addition to the community.

Commercial space could provide even more services to the community, provided those services were related to the mandate of the wellness centre. Any income generated would help operate the new facility and offer improved community programs.

“THIS CENTRE SHOULD BE A COMMUNITY BUILDING, IT NEEDS A LARGE SPACIOUS FOYER WHERE MANY PEOPLE CAN GATHER AND WATCH MULTIPLE EVENTS FROM ONE SPACE.” - HVGB RESIDENT

YMCA OPERATION

The town of Happy Valley–Goose Bay has signed a letter of intent with the YMCA of Northeast Avalon with regards to exploring an operating partnership for the new wellness centre. The YMCA of Northeast Avalon was established over 150 years ago and has been delivering core programs in employment and enterprise services, child care, health, fitness and recreation to local residents ever since. They currently operate inmore than 30 locations on the Avalon Peninsula and are planning to expand to other locations in the province through agreements such as the one with HVGB.

The YMCA is a registered, incorporated charity that aims to build healthy communities. On a mission to pro-vide opportunities for all people to grow in spirit, mind and body; the Y’s core values include caring, honesty, respect, health, responsibility and inclusiveness.

The YMCA have the resources, experience and capability to operate and maintain high quality services to HVGBresidents through thenewwellnesscentre.Theywouldoperateall fitness,aquaticsandchildcareaspects of the Wellness Centre while the town of HVGB staff would be responsible for ice-based facilities like the arena and curling rink. Community spaces would be a shared responsibility with each organization offering programs from various rooms. This type of arrangement has worked well in many other communities throughout the country.

In order to make this arrangement work, the YMCA would require some dedicated logistical and program spaces.Mostimportantisadefinedentranceoffthemainlobbyorcommunityhubwithamember service desk that would act as the control point for access to their portion of the facility.

AQUATICS

The Labrador Training Centre has the only public swimming pool in Happy Valley–Goose Bay. There are many problems with this 60 year old facility in relation to building science issues, accessibility for persons with disabili-ties and size. It does not meet the needs of the community. The small, irregular size of the pool severely limits the number of children that can enroll in swimming lessons. It is also impossible to host a provincial-level swim meet or even to properly train for competitions. The complete change room and pool area is not accessible to those withmobilityissuesandenvelopedeficienciesarecontinuallycausingextremewaterdamagetotheceilingareathat frequently closes the facility.

When asked about the potential for a new aquatics facility, the residents of HVGB stressed the importance of hav-ingaregulation-sizedandcompetition-readyswimmingpoolandthebenefitsthatsuchafacilitywouldhaveonpopularizing the sport of swimming in the community. Residents expressed a strong desire for the wellness centre to have a separate leisure pool (i.e. tots pool) with a shallow area for younger children. They expressed moderate interest in a diving board, water slide, water features (for children) and a whirlpool or heated therapy pool.

Accessibility for persons with disabilities and for those with age-related mobility issues should be accommodated through the basic design of the aquatics area. Low-slope ramped entries into the pools with landings and hand rails would allow everyone to enter the water in the same manner, regardless of their mobility range. Incorporating accessibility into the fundamental design of the facility eliminates the need for hoists and lifts to place people into the pool. Lifting devices draw unwanted attention to potential users and may discourage participation.

It is clear that aquatics are very important to the community, but due to the high cost of constructing these fa-cilitiestherearesomedifficultdecisionstobemade.Parameterslikethenumberandwidthoflanesinthecom-petition pool, the extent of a spectator seating area, or whether or not to include diving will have a considerable impactonthefinalcostofthenewwellnesscentreandmustbecarefullyconsidered.

Considerable interest was ex-pressedinprovidingafull-sizedindoorsoccerpitchandseveralsurveyrespondentssuggestedanindoorpitchwithanartificialturf surface.

Astrengthandconditioningroomisvitaltothesuccessofthewellnesscentreasindividualfitnessandstrengthtrainingspacein HVGB is extremely limited. A large open space with enough cardio, resistance training and free-weight equipment to serve the demand should be a priority.

The cold winters of HVGB also mean that residents can’t always walk or run safely outdoors. An indoor track would provide people with a place to continue these activities throughout the winter months. A track could be located above the gym and adjacent to the strength and conditioning room, providing views into these spaces. If it were large enough, it is possible that it couldencirclemostofthefitnessandevenaquaticsareas.

Interest was expressed in a 200 meter indoor running track much like the track at Memorial University’s Field House in St. Johns.

This would require more space than currently allocated, but could wrap around the double gymnasium (Option 1) or around a separate soccer fieldwithartificialturfandabasketballcourt(Option2).Inthesesitu-ations, the bleachers would need to be completely retractable and be extended out over the running track during major sporting events.

ARENA

AnewartificialicearenawillberequiredinthenearfuturetoreplacetheagingBroomfieldArenaandimproveupontheexisting level of service currently available to the community. Due to the building envelope design, mechanical systems andotherissues,theBroomfieldArenacannotmaintainanicesurfacewhenoutdoorairtemperaturesareconsistentlyabove freezing. The replacement arena must be designed such that it can operate year round, if desired. This would greatly increase the available ice-time by extending the skating and hockey-practice schedule well into the shoulder seasons.

Through the community engagement and consultation process, several residents voiced the opinion that two rinks would beneededtomeetthedemandforicetimebythevarioushockeyandfigureskatinggroups,whilestillprovidinggeneralcommunity access. Compared to other spaces within the wellness centre, the ice arena is an expensive area to construct with an approximate capital cost of $3,250 – $4,750 per square meter. A second ice surface could increase the cost of thefacilitybyasmuchas$6million.Also,accordingtotheLeisureInformationNetwork,anon-profitdigitalforumforsharingcommunityrecreationinformation,therecommendedlevelofservicethroughoutCanadaisoneartificialicearenaper 20,000 community residents. Therefore, it is generally accepted that a town the size of Happy Valley–Goose Bay can adequately serve residents, including those in surrounding communities, with one ice surface.

Thenewarenawillrequireatleast800spectatorseats(approximatelythesameamountastheBroomfieldArena)toaccommodate large crowds at games, tournaments and other events. Access to the seating should be adjacent to the community hub and there would need to be a heated viewing area, canteen service, and public washrooms directly accessible from the arena space. There is also the aspect of controlled access for possible ticketed events. Planning for open connectivity with the community hub as well as the capability for controlled access will be challenging.

Ontheoperationalside,thereareefficienciestobegainedbyco-locatingtheareawithcurlingandaquaticsinasinglebuilding. One refrigeration plant and ice maintenance area can serve both the NHL-sized rink and the curling sheets. Waste-heat from the plant can be utilized for general HVAC systems or used to supplement pool-water heating.

Arena Seating

A single large bank of seating adjacent to the community hub would provide space for all 800 spectators.

The players benches, penalty and timekeeper’s boxes can be grouped together on the opposite side of the arena, thus simplifying the bleach-er layout and reducing construction costs while providing unobstruct-ed views to all spectators.

Two Bleachers vs. One

With a requirement to accommodate just 800 spectators, a single bank of seating will reduce the arena’s clear-span (without columns) by approximately 1.2 meters, thus reducing the depth of roof trusses and the cost of the structure.

Dependingontheexactconfiguration,theincreased height of a single bank of seat-ing may create usable space underneath the bleacher. This space could be used for storage or to house ancillary functions likeafirst-aidroom,referee’schangeroomorevenofficespace forhockeyorfigureskating organizations.

Another advantage of a single bleacher configurationisthereducedcleaningandmaintenance requirements due to the sim-plifiedlayout.

Separating the players benches and other dasher board boxes from the public seat-ing area also reduces the amount of glass that is required.

CURLING RINK

Curling has traditionally been an important activity in HVGB and there is no doubt that it has a dedicated following within the community. However, indications from the public consultation process show that the majority of residents exhibit much less interest in a new curling facility than in other aspects of a wellness centre, such as the gymnasi-umandaquaticsfacilities.Therearedefinitesynergiesassociatedwithco-locatingacurlingrinkwithinthewellnesscentre, especially with regards to mechanical systems, but it will be a relatively expensive space to construct when comparedtootherfitnessandrecreationareas.Persquaremeter,theconstructioncostisonparwiththeicearena.

Program requirements include a minimum of four regulation-sized curling sheets, direct access to change room facilities and a heated viewing area that should be accessible from the community hub. Curling is a social sport and typically facilities include a lounge area with a licensed bar.

CHANGE ROOMS

Residentsparticipating infitnessactivitieswithinthenewwellnesscentrewill requirechanging,showerand locker facilities.Many of these activities can utilize a large combined change room area, but there will be a separation required for the ice-based activities.Itisrecommendedthattheaquatics,fitnessandrecreationareas,whichwilllikelybemanagedbytheYMCA,beser-viced by the same set of male, female and family change rooms. The arena and curling areas will require dedicated change room spaces, due to the obvious incompatibility of hockey skates and winter clothing with bare feet, swimsuits and indoor footwear. Provincial health regulations require aquatics centre change room and shower facilities to have dedicated and direct access to the pool deck. For logistical reasons, the arena change rooms must also have direct access to the ice surface.

ThemaleandfemalechangeroomsfortheYMCAaquaticsandfitnessareasshouldincludeamplechangingandlockerspace,washroom facilities, individual showers (i.e. curtained partitions) and possibly saunas. The family change room would be co-ed and include private changing cubicles adjacent to an open locker area, either swimsuit-on open showers or possibly individual shower cubicles and private washrooms. A separate washroom with a shower and room for changing will be included in the family change room for persons with disabilities. It would be large enough to accommodate a change table and a personal as-sistant or caregiver, if required. The general male and female change rooms will also meet provincial accessibility requirements by providing one barrier-free toilet, lavatory and shower in each room, alongside the regular facilities.

Separate referee change rooms and washroom facilities are also required.

The curling area would need it’s own male and female change room and washroom facilities, but would be able to share access and circulation with the arena change rooms. Both curling change rooms would incorporate barrier-free access.

Change Room Separation

Two separate change room areas provide service to the aquatics and fitnessfacilities,andthe ice-basedfacilitiesrespectively.Thisdivisionis important because it separates sports and activities that have com-pletely different change room requirements.

It also provides separation between the YMCA’s and the town of HVGB’s maintenance responsibilities.8.2

OFFICE SPACE

One of the main purposes of the of the wellness centre is to replace and centralize the currently disparate commu-nity and recreation spaces within the town.

MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL

A facility as large as the wellness centre, supporting such varied activities, will require complex mechanical and elec-trical systems. Grouping these systems as much as possible in centralized locations where they can serve multiple adjacent areas of the facility will reduce redundancies, save on distribution infrastructure and ultimately, capital cost.

Mechanical and electrical equipment can be grouped into three main service areas:1. The aquatics mechanical room which can be located below the pool deck, adjacent to the pool-tank walls.2. The arena and curling refrigeration systems, located between the ice surfaces, along an exterior wall.3. ThegeneralHVACsystems.Ideallylocatednearthecentreofthefloorplanonanupperlevelorpenthouse.

PROGRAM TO CONCEPT DESIGN11.3

As was noted in the introduction, the purpose of this report was to create a comprehensive program document to guide the planning of a new wellness centre. The contents of this document are a direct result of the information gathered from the HVGB council and staff and, most importantly, through the public consultation process. This document presents a wish list of pro-grams and spaces that local residents believe are important to the community and that should be included in their new facility.

The ideal situation would see a new wellness centre constructed that exactly follows this document and includes all the spaces foreveryactivity,sportandspecialinterestgroupwithoutcompromise.However,financialconsiderationswillrequirethateveryeffort be made to further distill the program requirements, take advantage of shared-space opportunities and explore phasing options to ensure that the new wellness centre is economically feasible.

The complete facility as described in this report is expected to cost between $42.7 and $58.7 million to construct as a single project,assumingthatconstructionbeginswithinayearorsoofthisreport.Thosefiguresrepresentquitearangeofcosts,butuntilanactualconceptdesigniscompleteditisdifficulttobemoreprecise.Therangeofcostsalsoreflectsthevariousconfig-uration options for the program elements outlined in each section of this document.

In general, the construction cost of the facility will be directly related to its size. As this project moves into concept design, the priority must be to reduce the gross building area as much as possible without eliminating or excessively reducing the program elements desired by HVGB residents and other stakeholders. Reducing the overall building area is the best way to control costs during the concept design stage and through design development.

Aphasedapproachtoconstructionisanotherwaytoincreasethefinancialfeasibilityofthenewwellnesscentre.Program-matically,thefacilitycanbedividedintowarmandcoldsections–i.e.theaquatics/fitnessandthearena/curlingareas.Thesemajor program elements could be linked by the multipurpose common spaces following the community hub concept presented in section 2.1 of this report. This logical division of functional spaces into three main blocks would translate well into separate constructionphases.Initialcostingsuggeststhattheaquaticscentre,fitnessareasandthecommunityhubcanbebuiltasafullyfunctionalbuildingforapproximately$26.5to$35.5million,dependingontheexactsizeandconfigurationoftheprogramareas. The arena and curling rink can be added on at a later date for approximately $16.2 to $21.1 million without affecting the operation of the remainder of the wellness centre. During the concept design process, the possibility for construction phasing should be maintained and the architectural layout and building utilities must be organized to allow a phased approach.
