many people from throughout the Twin Cities metro have utilized the Roseville Passport Center in preparation for their international trips. The License and Passport Center has been in its current space since 2000 in leased space from the Lexington Shops retail center. As time went on, the License and Passport Center served more and more customers and changes were required by the federal government to separate the general license operation space from the passport service area. This required more space. Ultimately the City decided to purchase the retail center in order to provide more space for long term growth of the Civic Campus. The Cityanticipated that the popular License and Passport Center needed to grow if it was to remain a convenient and efficient location for its customers to meet their needs. Therefore, in 2017 the City conducted a space needs analysis which identified several space and operational deficiencies of the current space. This was followed up with a Civic Campus Master Plan which analyzed the needs of the overall campus and provided concepts to meet the many needs of the City well into the future. Primarily the studies identified that the current 5,000 square foot space should be nearly 10,000 square feet in size. This would provide sufficient separation of the operations as required by federal regulations, as well as efficient circulation, allow room for growth and provide staff support spaces and an expanded waiting area. The new facility will also provide additional recreational space for the City’s Parks and Recreation programs. Currently, the City operates a dance studio program out of open space in theretail center. This space is too small for the size of the program and limits potential growth of the popular recreational program. A new Dance andWellness Studio, a 5,000 square foot open recreational space with restroom and other support amenities, will be the home of the Roseville School of Dance, various adult wellness classes such as yoga and mindfulness and could be available to communityand non-community users when not in use for City programs. The cost of the new facility is estimated to be around $12.7million and would include costs for design, construction, relocationand required infrastructure to support the new facility.
