PAC New Construction Update

Updated---August 29, 2014

 Construction is on track and our anticipated occupation date is still early spring 2015. 

Our nearly 8000 square foot addition will be at all three PAC levels.  Basement space includes freight entry, file storage, 2 offices and equipment storage.  At the gymnasium level, there will be a vestibule with south-side egress that will include restrooms and a water fountain and much needed storage space for PAC supplies and equipment.  Opening off of the track at PAC’s second level, there will be a large studio room, capable of being divided into two functional spaces.  There will also be a small fitness equipment storage room adjacent to this second story activity space. 

PAC Staff anticipate close to 100,000 total visits in 2014, surpassing 2013’s total of 95,500 visits.  We know this additional storage and program space will greatly enhance patron satisfaction, as more of what the community wants will be available.  Youth and adult activities will be concurrently facilitated during our prime time after school and evening times of the day.  And, equipment will be safely stored out of the way of activity areas.  This will ensure a safer, tidier environment.

We are proud to be able to offer our stakeholders this essential addition to PAC, knowing it will improve our current programs and ensure safe and effective classes, activities and special events far into the future.

PAC EXPANDS…
Construction Update---August 22, 2014

It’s been several weeks since I shared the groundbreaking of the new south-side addition at PAC.  See the photo to view construction progress!



Construction is on track and our anticipated occupation date is still early spring 2015. 

Our nearly 8000 square foot addition will be at all three PAC levels.  Basement space includes freight entry, file storage, 2 offices and equipment storage.  At the gymnasium level, there will be a vestibule with south-side egress that will include restrooms and a water fountain and much needed storage space for PAC supplies and equipment.  Opening off of the track at PAC’s second level, there will be a large studio room, capable of being divided into two functional spaces.  There will also be a small fitness equipment storage room adjacent to this second story activity space.

NEWS FLASH!

PAC EXPANDS…
A Season of Construction Begins

No doubt you’ve noticed that earth has been moved on the south side of the PAC gymnasium?  Or, you may have had your favorite summer PAC parking taken away in the high school parking lot?  Well, the reason is….WE ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

PAC Staff are eagerly anticipating the addition of much needed storage space for all PAC’s supplies and equipment.  This will happen at the basement level of PAC and on the gym level.  A water fountain and restroom will also be added so that participants and spectators of gym activities will have these services closer to the area in which they are engaged. We will also have new activity spaces available on the second level, off of the track.  A large studio room at that level will have the capability of being divided for two different offerings happening simultaneously.  All PAC patrons know how much this will enhance “prime time” classes and activities when both adults and youth are in the building.  

We do not anticipate an interruption of services while construction is taking place.  However, you will notice that the south and west exits from the gymnasium are no longer available for egress.  The gym needs to be exited from the interior door only and then patrons must exit either the main entrance or the east exit door by the elevator.  PAC Staff will assist patrons should there be any questions.

Our anticipated date of occupying our new spaces is late winter/early spring 2015.  We will provide regular construction status updates and will advertise a “ribbon cutting” open house as the date draws near.

Meanwhile, PAC remains OPEN and thriving with LOTS OF ACTIVITIES for you and your family!  As August draws to a close, dates to keep in mind include:
·         FALL ACTIVITY GUIDES will be available August 25th.
·         REGISTRATION for fall activities begins August 27th.
·         PAC IS OPEN Labor Day, Sept. 1st from 9am to 3pm
·         FALL HOURS begin Tuesday, Sept. 2nd
o    Monday through Friday:  5am – 9pm
o    Saturday:  10am – 6pm
o    Sunday:  12pm – 6pm
·         FALL EXPO in partnership with BOCES will occur at the BOCES building on Wed., Sept. 3rd

Look for all our construction updates and activity information on www.pinedaleaquatic.com and the PAC Facebook page.  And, feel free to call at 367-2832 to ask any questions you may have.  Do not hesitate to contact me at:  jhuntley@pinedaleaquatic.com.

As always, PAC strives to make a difference in the community; and to be the place none of us can imagine living without!

Thank you for being part of it!
