Description of Proposal: Construction of a below grade two story structure totaling approximately 90,000 square foot (approximately 43,000 square feet on each level, plus an additional 4,000 square feet for the expanding loading dock area). Minor above-grade development would total approximately 5,700 square feet outside of the Portage Bay Vista boundaries and would consist of an approximately 66-foot high, 4,200 —square foot utility/exhaust tower for air intake and exhaust in the northeast corner of the proposed building (adjacent to Hitchcock Hall), as well as an approximately 1,500-square foot above grade entrance pavilion to provide access to the ARCF via the below-grade access corridor. Once construction of the building is complete, the Portage Bay Vista would be replaced and landscaped. The existing view corridor created by the Portage Bay Vista would remain as part of this project.
