ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN UPDATE 8/14/97 9 AM Dan set this meeting for 9 AM in their office in Portland. Ken, Leonard and Peggy went up for the meeting. John Whittington was invited but couldn't attend. Leonard's conversation with John yesterday indicated RG was open to looking at retail and transit offices on north side of block and county occupying office space on south side of block. Looked at option of 2 floors retail on north side, but too costly. Donald Drake,lVIlVIDC retail expert came in for a few minutes to discuss this option. He is planning on a trip to Salem in the next few weeks to look at area and retail situation. Dan leans towards county and transit offices in one building; parking under bus mall and retail on north end, keeping the retail as separate entity. Better ownership; easier for financing; minimizes risks for county and transit, more cost effective and more efficient use of office space in a 4-6 story design. Want to lower total skin costs and get a better quality building is the goal. Looking at reducing costs of skin on building. Currently with glass curtain 80% of building is $30-35 per foot; drivit 20% of building at $10-15 per foot range. - looking at 53,000 square feet vs. Brick at $18-20 per foot and/or glass with punchouts averages $24. Use of brick option with glass window punchouts @$20-24/sf with 53,000 sf could generate $500,000 savings to project. Dan and Byron took Leonard to look at different buildings in Portland area for ideas. Parking structure - now at 316 spaces plus or minus with 354 SF efficiency rating. Also looking at impact of columns and possibly removing some. Mike at Interface will price out both steel and concrete options. Looking at leaving columns in garage and using steel in building - takes up less space. Central corridor with stairs/elevators, seems to be working out well in both the 4 story - full length and the 6 story smaller footprint version. Byron was happy with both mechanically. Hesitate to proceed without RG's blessing. Dan is on vacation next week and Craig asked John to set up meeting with RG early next week, possibly Tuesday, to go over what has been done. Leonard had a print out of a Six story shortened block analysis (without ground floor) and four full length block analysis (without ground floor). I had them scanned at the Data Center and will attach them to this email. (Not sure of quality or if you can access to print.) Dan commented the numbers are looking better.
