Riverside Expansion Project
The SAC Riverside Expansion Project is designed by John Dingens, AIA and funded by generous donations from Joanne & Gary Slaughter and Connie & Jerry Voight. Additional improvements to the existing facility will be made through a NCBP Completion Grant Award from the Cook Family Foundation. As shown, the exterior will feature an octagonal design with large windows divided by columns, opening onto a magnificent view of the Shiawassee River, Curwood Castle and the park.
The main floor area will add 816 square feet of gallery and multi-purpose space to the east end of the Arts Center. Moveable walls will allow modification of exhibit space and special events as needed. A terrace directly above will provide an outdoor area for special events. The lower level directly below will house 720 square feet of additional classroom space. A new glass-enclosed exit/entrance Galleria on the north side of the building will provide access to both the lower level and the second floor.
