Project Information

The City of Lafayette wants to explore the feasibility of adding an addition to the rear of the existing structure, as well as doing some interior renovations. The design team completed site observations and compiled existing documentation to get an understanding of existing conditions. This assessment reflects the professional judgement of the design team.

Building Information

The existing historic building is located at the corner of E Simpson Street and S Gough Avenue. The Mary Miller Theater has had numerous programs since it was built. This gives it a unigue interior layout that currently includes: A small entry lobby with a will call office, 2 single use restrooms that are not up to code, a small dressing area, and a theater room with a fixed stage and fixed tiered seating. The ceiling is vaulted within the theater space but varies throughout all other areas of the building. The existing spatial configuration will be converted into an open, modular design that can adapt to different user groups. See the following report for additional findings, recommendations and more detailed information.

Historic Preservation

OVERVIEW

The City of Lafayette wants to retain the historic integrity of the theater all while creating a way for it to better serve its community. Lafayette considers themselves a Certified Local Government which means that they have committed to maintaining the standards set by national historic and archaeological organizations. By understanding the constraints of a designated building, and working with the design guidelines for Old Town Lafayette, the design team can come up with the best solution to meet the needs of this project scope.

CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS

The first step with a landmark alteration is apply for a Certificate of Appropriateness.

To complete the Certificate of Appropriateness, the following information must be included:

• Type of alteration

• Existing photographs

• Drawings (sketches or scaled drawings of the proposal)

• Scaled site plans and specifications (showing the proposed exterior appearance)

• Elevations/Architectural design and detail (usually 1/4” = 1’ scale)

• Materials to be used (samples of stone, brick, siding, etc.)

• Manufacturer’s/catalogue “tear” sheet(s)

• For fences, please bring drawings to scale showing dimensions, including spacing between rails.

• Names and addresses of abutting property owners (for purposes of notification)

• Optional but Helpful things to include are:

• Building Sections

• Floor Plans

• Study model if addition is proposed

Once an application is sent to the Lafayette Historic Preservation Board, they will either approve or deny it.

DESIGN GUIDELINES

The site is located in the Old Town Urban Renewal District which means it has to follow the Lafayette Downtown Architecture Standards for Old Town Urban Renewal Areas.

Standards include:

• All materials, colors, and architectural details used on the exterior of a building shall be compatible with the building’s style, with other properties in the general business area, and with each other. This standard shall not be interpreted to preclude any unique architectural styles deemed appropriate to the use.

• Blank, windowless walls are discouraged. Where the construction of a blank wall is necessary, the wall shall be articulated with recesses and projections in order to break-up the image of the wall’s mass.

• Windows shall be vertically proportioned wherever possible. Street-level storefront windows are strongly encouraged. Office and residential windows organized in a generally regular pattern are encouraged.

• Transparent entries and large store front windows are strongly encouraged. Recessed and other styles of window openings are desired.

• Intense, bright or fluorescent colors shall not be used as the predominant color on any wall or roof of any primary or accessory structure. These colors may be used as building accent colors.

• All sloping roof areas with a pitch of three in twelve (3 in12) or greater, and visible from any public or private right-of-way, shall be surfaced with attractive and durable materials.

• Avoid large expanses of continuous concrete paving.

• Encourage outdoor dining and other people-oriented places.

Site Design Principles:

• When building a new building or addition, consider placing it to fit within the range of setbacks seen in the block.

• Consider the effect the addition will have on the original structure.

• Additions that reflect elements of the existing structure reinforce the positive character and enhance the neighborhood.

• Minimize the loss of historically significant features that exist.

• The addition should not strongly alter the perceived character of the building.

• Consider the effects on adjacent properties and the streetscape as well.

• New additions should be compatible in mass and scale with the main building.

• Small additions are visually preferable.

• Sire the addition to the rear of the structure when feasible.

• Use roof forms and roof pitches that are compatible with the primary structure and with other structures on the block.

DESIGN APPROACH

Our approach to this addition is to mimic the gable form of the existing building. We want to make it clear that the addition was built in a different time period than the theater and not detract from its historic character. The addition will be smaller in scale, have a transparent storefront entry, and use materials that will be compatible but different than the existing building. The addition will highlight the existing building instead of draw eyes away from it.

MASTER PLAN SITE DESIGN NARRATIVE

City of Lafayette – Mary Miller Theater

Schematic Design Landscape Architecture and Landscape Irrigation Narrative Summary of site modifications and improvements

GENERAL

The proposed project includes renovations and building additions for the Mary Miller Theater located at 300 E Simpson Street in Lafayette, Colorado. The proposed site improvements associated with the theater renovation are intended to utilize the undeveloped portion of the property on the south side of the theater to create a multi-functional outdoor space to address the following goals:

• Provide an ADA accessible route to the theater addition;

• Create a small outdoor performance space;

• Provide a flexible space for seating and gathering for multiple types of functions and events;

• Provide appropriate screening and fencing (where appropriate or necessary) to allow for a flexible use of the site with minimal impacts to the adjacent neighbors.

The site exhibits and landscape and irrigation narrative have been developed based on project goals and program elements provided by studiotrope Design Collective (sDC) and the City of Lafayette.

All outdoor program areas will be designed to conform to the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards for accessible design and City of Lafayette design guidelines and standards.

SITE CIRCULATION AND ADA ACCESSIBILITY

The proposed outdoor seating and performance space on the south side theater will incorporate an integrated ADA access walk to the theater addition. The route will provide connectivity from the existing sidewalk along S Gough Ave to the main level of the theater. The access route will be developed to provide access to seating and gathering spaces within the proposed plaza space, as well as the small outdoor performance space.

All site circulation and seating areas will be developed to meet ADA standards.

PERFORMANCE PLAZA / SEATING AREAS

A small performance space will be developed as a component of the outdoor plaza. The performance space will be designed to accommodate a variety of uses in support of the expanded indoor theater program. Two different options for the performance space have been identified in the site diagrams:

Option A:

Option A provides a performance space located outer edge of the outdoor plaza space. This option provides a backdrop to the performance space and allows performances to focus on viewing from a central direction.

If required, cost saving measures may be explored to allow the proposed site program elements to remain while a reduced budget is addressed through the following means:

• Materia Selections: Site material selections may be modified in a way that will allow the site to function as intended at a lower installation cost. While program opportunities will remain the same, site aesthetics may be influenced or impacted by the selection of lower cost materials. Modified material selections may include:

o Site paving o Architectural screening materials o Fencing (if required) o Site furnishings o Grading and retaining walls or seat wall materials

GENERAL LANDSCAPE & IRRIGATION

The theater site will be modified to accommodate the proposed building addition and site improvements with a focus on low water use, native or adapted plant material appropriate to the site and will consist of evergreen trees, large deciduous shade trees, and flowering ornamental trees that provide shade and buffering as well as seasonal interest. The understory garden plantings will be a combination of deciduous and evergreen shrubs placed on approximately 36” centers, and ornamental grasses and groundcovers placed on 18”-36” centers. The planting beds will be mulched with a 4” layer of cedar bark mulch. Existing trees that will remain shall be protected in place unless otherwise identified for removal during the design phase of the project.

All new landscape areas will be established with an automatic irrigation system, using point-source drip for planting beds and trees. Plant materials with different water requirements will be zoned separately.

Sprinklers will be grouped into laterals zones based upon similar precipitation rates and exposure to allow for maximum flexibility and efficiency.

It is unknown at this time whether or not there is an existing irrigation system and point-of-connection (POC) that will be used to service a new landscape irrigation system. It should be anticipated that a new POC and complete landscape irrigation system will be required for the proposed site and renovation of the existing landscape areas on the north and east sides of the theater.

Option B:

Option A provides a central location for the performance space. Site circulation and access to the theater will wrap the performance space, providing views from all sides of the performance space.

Seating/gathering opportunities will be provided along the accessible route around the performance space, providing multiple viewing opportunities.

The outdoor plaza and gathering spaces will be constructed using specialty paving of enhanced concrete (colored, sand finish, and/or scoring), or unit pavers to provide additional interest in this special use area.

Moveable site furnishings and informal seating opportunities will be considered for both options. Informal seating may consist of raised seat walls, boulders or other similar options that will function to define spaces within the plaza, while also providing additional seating opportunities.

The site furniture shall be of high-quality aluminum or steel frames with powder coated finishes in combination with the warmth of wood. In general, furniture should be movable to allow for flexible gatherings. Hardwoods like thermally modified ash (Thermory) or Ipe shall be used for all seating elements and 25% of the tabletops.

SHADE CANOPY

A shade canopy is proposed as a recommended component of the performance space. The canopy will assist in providing a centralized focus on the performance space, while also providing a higher level of protection from weather. A custom or semi-custom shade structure will be fabricated with a steel frame and will include structural concrete footings. Electrical power and data may be incorporated into the structure to support site lighting, electrical receptacles and other potential data needs within the plaza.

SITE LIGHTING & POWER

Site lighting should be considered for the outdoor plaza and pedestrian access and circulation. Outdoor lighting may be incorporated to provide a flexible approach to lighting the site. Lighting considerations include:

• Pedestrian access and egress lighting

• Performance space lighting

• General site lighting

Additional power should be provided at the performance space and placed strategically throughout the space to provide access to electrical receptacles for a more flexible use of the plaza space.

WATER EFFICIENCY AND LANDSCAPE RENOVATIONS

The existing landscape and proposed gardens will be developed using xeric, native or adapted plant material with an emphasis on providing a water efficient landscape.

Architectural Narrative

PROJECT SCOPE:

The project consists of an existing historic theater that requires interior updates, along with a rear addition to create space for added amenities. The project will include: a larger lobby space, two (2) new ADA single-use restrooms, a ticketing and concession counter, a light and sound vestibule, an updated dressing area, added storage, and a modular theater. The current program for this building is solely a performance theater. The client would like to expand that program to Small Weddings, Poetry Readings, Office Award Ceremonies, Film Screenings, Children’s Theater, Storytimes, and End of Life Ceremonies.

SITE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES:

The biggest challenge for this renovation is that the existing theater is designated as a historic structure on the National Register. This comes with many constraints to what can be done on the exterior of the building. Doing any addition to a historic structure must be approved by the Historic Preservation Board in Lafayette. Any landmark alteration must complete a Certificate of Appropriateness before moving towards construction. The addition must be secondary to the historic structure.

The size of the site is also a constraint. There is a challenging task to create an accessible approach to the entry of the building that is used by all visitors. The goal is to create an entry path that everyone uses, not an ADA afterthought.

The outdoor program, parking, mechanical shed, and the addition must fit in the existing space between the south side of the existing building and the existing parking spaces. A parking requirement study is not a part of this scope.

INTERIOR LAYOUT:

The new entrance to the theater will be on the South side of the building. The meandering accessible path will lead to a secondary addition that compliments the existing historic structure. To the right of the entry doors will be the ticket and concession counters. To the left will be a flexible lounge space that can be adapted to a bar cart area for different occasions. The ADA restrooms will be in the NE and NW corners of the addition and between them, to create more flexibility and function to the theater and other programs, is a light and sound vestibule. The SW corner of the addition will have a storefront system with large glass windows to have a great view of the outdoor space and S. Gough Avenue.

The theater can be rearranged to whatever meets the needs of the user. With modular theater elements, it can feel like a theater in the round, a proscenium theater, or a black box theater. Movable tiered panels will allow tiered seating to be available when needed. Movable seating will also let the space adjust to different events. An updated lighting and sound system will make the theater feel fresh and less cluttered to what currently exists.

Behind the stage/theater area will be storage. This aligns with the existing chimney. There are paths of travel on the East and West side of the stage area. The West side is an emergency exit route that directs users towards the existing entrance to get out safely. This can also be used as a back of house entry to bring in eqipment for different events.

The East door leads to the dressing and restroom area.

The dressing room has been expanded to fit six actors at a U-shape counter with mirrors at every station. The existing restrooms will remain but get updated finishes. These will primarily be for the cast and employees. Where the existing ticket office is, will be opened up to exposed storage. Costume racks can be stored here easily.

Structural Narrative

Overview:

The existing building is a Single-story building with wood framed bearing walls, wood floor and roof framing. The planned addition is to be installed adjacent to the existing building. There are limited existing structural drawings for the existing structure. We propose to do the structural engineering as described below:

Single Story Addition:

Single story addition will be framed with glue-laminated wood beams, 2x wood bearing walls, and columns. Glue laminated beams will be 24F1.8E (2400 psi bending stress allowable and 1,800,000 psi modulus). Live Loading for the floor framing lobby area will be 100 PSF. We believe additional partition loading will be required for 15 PSF. The area below the floor framing would be planned to be used as storage. The flooring for the storage area would be a slab-on-grade.

Roof framing at the addition may use 2x12 Doug Fir No.1 spaced at 2 foot off center and may use 5-1/8” x 18” glulam girders.

Floor joists would be approximately 11-7/8” TJIs spaced at 16” off center or 2x13-1/4” Doug Fir No.1 members. Joist will be supported by concrete foundation walls and W8x18 steel beam.

Peak Engineering would recommend obtaining a soils report from a licensed geotechnical engineer to provide design recommendations for the proposed single story addition foundation and a slab-on-grade for the storage area below the floor framing. DR

The Lafayette Congregational Church has occupied a central role in particularly during the coal mining era. It was a community meeting plage for the miners and their families and throughout its existence has functioned m many service rela e capacities.

The church was organized in 1890. During the early years of operation, members met in various homes for services, but as the population grew, it became evident that a pemanent^ house of worship was needed. During these lucrative years of coal development, the town s founder, Mary Miller, provided the majority of funds for the church and arranged for the construction of the building. Miller also paid the minister’s salary for several years until the congregation could assume the obligation.

The church served as a focal building for the miners and their families throughout its existence. In 1918, the structure was converted to an emergency hospital during the influenze’epidemic. A small library was started at the church in 1923.

membership in the early 1920s, the church was sold to the Christian Science Society^in 1928.

At that time the library was moved to the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company Store, but returned to the site in 1964.22) List Any Associated Cultural Group; ------------------- ----------------------- ———------—
