All rights reserved. An overall budget has not been established for the complete repostitioning of the Century Center and the connected assets. However, there is an amount of $10M - $15M available for an initial phase of improvements to the Century Center. The Master Plan will identify an initial phase of the project to utilize these dollars. DESIGN SERVICES RATIO, in conjunction with our specialty consultants, will provide Master Planning services for the identified Project Scope. Following up on the City’s request to expand the Master Planning effort to include some financial analysis and museum expertise, we have included as a part of our design team HVS, a convention, sports, and entertainment facilities planning consultant, and Lord Cultural Resources, a museum specialist. These specialists will bring a more holistic approach to the effort as the impacts of potential modifications / improvements to the Century Center and the other connected assets are considered. RATIO previously completed two studies of the Century Center looking at two different approaches to expand the facility. These studies will provide general background information for use during this Master Planning effort. The previous studies did not investigate the connected facilities or these larger financial questions. The physical Master Planning services provided by RATIO will include:  Assess the current uses of the Primary Buildings in the Study Area  Evaluate the compatabilty of the current uses within the Century Center  Assess the existing physical condition of the Century Center and Primary Buidings  Prepare a narrative report with photographs describing the existing physical condition of the Century Center and Primary Buildings  Create list of possible uses for the Century Center and the Primary Buildings  Develop two to three concept Master Plans of the Study Area depicting proposed uses for the Century Center and the Primary Buildings.  Review concept Master Plans with the City and identify recommended concept Master Plan  Advance the selected concept Master Plan to a completion level.
