April 5, 2023 - Schematic Design & Class D Capital & Operational Estimates
have been provided to the City of Dawson for review and direction from council. A summary and presentation were prepared which can be viewed below. The two design options were reflective of the amenities drafted by council and administration at a working group meeting. What has been provided remains conceptual. Once direction is received, consultants will refine and finalize the schematic drawings, after which detailed design would occur, followed by tendering for construction.
- Council Presentation - Summary of Design and Class D Cost Estimates - Options A & B (April 5, 2023)
- Schematic Drawings - Options A & B
- Class D Estimates - Capital, Operational - Options A & B
In winter 2020-21, a Feasibility Study was undertaken to determine the scale, scope and location of a new recreation centre; estimate the capital costs for different versions of this building, as well as the operational and maintenance costs which may be incurred. These options were shared with the public, and reviewed by administration and council.
It was ultimately decided that Lot 1059 (Base of Dome Road) was the preferred location to build. It was also decided that Option 1 should be pursued at the preferred scale and scope for this building. The plan for Option 1 included a skating rink, two curling sheets, a gymnasium, indoor play space, canteen and office space.
