12 - 3- 1997
The following information is being sent to everyone who took part in the Public Forum held
September 9, 1997 as a follow-up to your interest in this project. All those who attended the
Public Forum received a comment report outlining your views, ideas and concerns from that
meeting also. The design team appreciates your efforts and your input on behalf of this
project.
As part of the continuing process of public input for the Town Center a series of smaller
input groups was assembled from individuals who expressed interest at the Public Forum and
• that volunteered to help with technical issues of the project. Based on input from the initial
Public Forum four technical issue groups were put together and asked to provide further
ideas involving critical uses areas of the project, those subcommittees are:
Technical / Communications
James Alford C. C . E.
Neil Adams TCA Cable
Marvin Hilton Cable Administrator
Elchibition / Community Users
Greg Taylor Taylor Display
Marilyn Snapp Chamber of Commerce

Attached please find minutes of these meetings reflecting comments and concerns expressed
by technical groups.
Since the Public Forum held in September several meetings of Fayetteville's Advertising &
Promotion Commission have seen presentations of the project to help further refine all
aspects of the design of the project. At the last Commission meeting early exterior concept
ideas were reviewed and issues concerning materials , budget and possible additional space
• needs , with possible additional funding from the City, were discussed.
The next step in the development process for this project is to present more developed
exterior concepts to the A & P Commission. Once further input is completed from these
meetings we envision another Public Forum meeting to gather comments on the revised
design including the proposed exterior development.
Thank you for your continued involvement with this project.
• TECHNICAL / COMMUNICATIONS SUBCOMMITTEE
James Alford
Jim Bemus
Marvin Hilton
The Town Center needs to have fiber optics connection for communication. The
location of nearest downtown trunk line needs to be determined . The connection will
need to be new fiber wire with the largest "thru-put " capability.
The Center needs to be able to receive and send by satellite for interactive video
conferencing . Costs would be kept at a minimum if a directly connected least to the
CCE, but there is a great possibility that both facilities would need to receive
simultaneously. The CCE currently uses a mobile truck to send signals. The truck is
connected into the facility by cables & conduits. This truck could be rented by the
Town Center to alleviate the cost of a separate sending satellite dish . The connection
capability for the truck could be designed to minimize and simplify amount of cables
required . The roof mounted satellite dish needs to have an automatic tracking system .
Size, location, structural requirements, cable/conduit requirements need to be
determined . Requirements need to be made to accommodate a high speed networking
global market.
Lighting in the exhibit space needs to be subdivided in the hall . It needs to have
• various types of lighting for different lighting levels, at different physical levels, and for
different focal points/speaker locations . There needs to be a control booth at a higher
level to observe lighting , activity, sound, etc. Cameras can be used to view spaces not
visible when the hall has been divided . Ideally the exhibit hall should be hard wired for
cameras on the floor with multi pin connectors . Floor should also should have plug for
sound, power, phone, fiber, computer at intervals approx. 20' .
The technology of the center should plan for the near future digital world . An acoustic
consultant may need to be considered to help with the specifics of the hall space,
materials, flexibility and help plan for the industry standards and requirements.
Plan for multiple screens in hall with audience participation. Plan for the use of "flat
screen technology " and wall of monitors . Video conferencing will be planned for.
Camera location and conduit should be provided to get full visibility of entire hall and
when subdivided . Distance education should be planned for in this scenario .
There should be a front of the house mixer. Remotely controlled cameras . Projectors
which can be adjusted in height and direction. Slide track or slings could be used for
flexibility. Provide RTS communication system or similar. Hardwire is best. Plan for
multi-Media presentations. Catwalk could be used for media cameramen location
above crowd .

There needs to be adequate storage for additional exhibit supplies that can be ordered
from a service desk on the main hall level . Service desk can be off service hallway and
would be manned by the exhibit contractor who organizes the setup of the event.
Ideally the service desk would be two 8' counters with a service window . The
exhibitor may request additional pipe, drape, lighting , skirted tables, etc . The majority
of the supplies would be brought on site by the exhibitor setup contractor, but items
are sometimes forgotten or not ordered properly by exhibitor. There needs to be a
show manager's office . This can be small area with phone, power, and computer
outlets.
There needs to be storage for a forklift on lower levels that can be used to move
paletted materials shipped or brought on site . Power, communication requirements,
etc. needs to be provided every 20' to 30' . Water should be provided, but not as
often . Ideal freight elevator size should be 12 'X 10' with a minimum height of 8'-0" .
The passenger elevator needs to be increased some in size . There needs to be holding
areas for exhibits near the freight elevators. Need to plan for exhibitors who have
small exhibits. Plan for cars wanting to be in truck service drive . Provide separate
• drop off area for exhibitors .

For a food preparation kitchen the equipment required would be: a 6 burner range with
vented hood , one electric convection oven, one gas convection oven, one 100 cup
coffee maker, a 3 compartment sink with sprayer and disposal, two 500 Ib icemakers
(portable ) , and four Carter-Hoffman 160 plate warmers ( 30" x 5 ' x 6' portable) •
Downstairs needs a 10' x 10' walk-in refrig with 5 x10 freezer inside . Need lots of
plugs in kitchen and in service hallway. Provide high amps to adequately service
multiple equipment use . Stainless steel counter tops . Plenty of lay out space for plate
prep . Dishwasher may not be required by caterer, but would be used by small meeting
groups and\or breakroom . Slope floors in service hall and kitchen for pressure washing .
Portable bar can be used throughout facility when needed . Plan storage for tables,
chairs, portable bars, dry foods. Plan for maximum serving capacity of 1000.
Catering vehicles typically are vans and box trucks 14' long . Service docks are too
high for catering truck. Need to consider a dock leveler. 8'x8' min . size elevator is
required .
• Consideration needs to be made for the times when the hall is subdivided and several
different caterers are present. Equipment needs to be portable to allow service from
hall . Provide convenience counter top at these locations . These spaces need to have
plenty of high amp plugs.

• PUBLIC SPACE DESIGN SUBCOMMITTEE

Plaza design needs to accommodate a variety of users from children to the elderly.
Public space should be the opportunity to display local sculpture and artwork. Artwork
could provide interactive visual and tactile elements for people of all ages . Scale and
edges should be appropriate . Design should incorporate both a sense of formality and
movement. This is an opportunity to connect to the square gardens. The Plaza should
accommodate an open pathway for emergency vehicles and/or the rare occasion to
bring a single vehicle onto the floor. Maintenance requirements should be considered in
selecting items and materials for public space . Who will be responsible for the
maintenance of the landscaping ?
Public bathrooms should be provided , but issues of security for both the exhibit hall and
the users should be considered . The open hours for the public bathrooms may need to
be limited .
Ideas discussed for the plaza include fountains, clock, time capsule, change in levels,
• banners, information kiosk, seating , retail, sculpture, . . . The trees should be a variety
of species which would include a mix of evergreen and deciduous. The trees and
planting needs to accommodate 12 months of color and foliage . Planting should take
into consideration need for visibility to maintain security. Lighting is a key
consideration to security as well as the design of the public space. Lighting needs to
eliminate dark pockets around corners, bushes, stairwells, etc.
Retail users desired to be on Plaza level rather than on Rock. Night use shops would
promote a more secure plaza by bringing more users after dark.
