The gymnasium patio will link its adjacency to the library to promote extended shared use opportunities. The central kitchen will have access to serving in the gym for extended multi-use opportunities for large event functions. The fitness area will be transparent and allow views from the lobby and views internal to the fitness space all toward the lake. The aquatic center will host the lockers adjacent for convenience of changing and it will have views from the lobby for enticement and excitement. The Second Floor Plan begins with arrival to a mezzanine bridging the centralized Grand Hall Lobby with the Event Center flanking to the west and crafts, dance and elevated track flanking to the east.
