An outdoor classroom is desired (beyond the amphitheater area). outdoor classroom criteria include: <br /> roof, seating, electricity(solar panels?),a display screen, program storage,and access to water(could be <br /> a cistern with rain water).A prairie shelter could be added as well with tables, roof with skylights,water, <br /> power, restrooms. <br /> Lots of storage needs. Garage could be U larger than current size. Need for an additional vehicle for <br /> transporting staff to programs. <br /> The amphitheater works well but needs upgrading. <br /> Add green infrastructure (best practices and as public demonstration/interpretation). There is no storm <br /> water control features in place at Wargo. <br /> Difficult to maintain the small prairie area in front of the building(can't burn it for regeneration). <br /> Erosion issue along the entry walk. Entry walk is also used as a driveway to the building. <br /> Heritage Lab—issues with restroom accessibility, porta-potties only there now <br /> Building— <br /> Building has some functional issues—under-whelming visitor entry experience,storage needs(?), <br /> mechanical issues, "cold"feeling in the classrooms,static displays, lack of indoor/outdoor connections, <br /> lack of use of"green"environmental-friendly materials and measures, lots of digital technology <br /> opportunities,dynamic interpretive and information displays, need for digital media/screens in each <br /> room,add a theater room? <br /> Enhance the inside/outside relationships between the building and the outdoors. Add doors to access <br /> outside. Create a place(s)to relax/hang out inside and enjoy nature/view birds.Add a tree <br /> house/canopy level space? <br /> The building entry experience is stale and should be more interesting. Need more changeable dynamic <br /> exhibits(beyond the static stuffed animals). For example, add an"osprey camera"to the existing nesting <br /> platform and web link/display. <br /> Staff offices are isolated by the touch and see room and affected by program noise/activity. <br /> Operations— <br /> Desire to have the Center hours and program offerings align with resident needs. The Center is closed <br /> evenings. The Center is not open on weekends during the winter. Is this the best fit with people's <br /> desires for programs and access and the available staff time/budget? <br /> Partnerships—Connexus Energy,area schools, Rice Creek Watershed,Anoka County Libraries,MN DNR, <br /> MN Historical Society, Lino Lakes YMCA,Forest Lake School District, Banfill-Locke Center for the Arts <br /> (need to connect with them),Springbrook Nature Center(can we connect with them?) area cities. <br /> Grants are available from Integrated Waste Dept.for sustainable materials. <br /> 3 <br /> Wargo Nature Center Master Plan—Jan.23,2014 kick off meeting summary <br /> Wargo Nature Center Master Plan • March 2015 <br />
