architectural narrative (cont.) <br />Northwest: <br />Northwest Grandstands are organized in a similar manner to the Northeast with toilet rooms <br />for the premium seating accessed directly from the seating area.The two concession stands <br />are connected with an overhead door to allow connected or separate food preparation areas. <br />Toilet rooms located to the west of the concession stands can be to be closed off from the <br />general public and serve the "Behind the Chutes"area after the Rodeo event is over. <br />The "Behind the Chutes"area is a gathering space used primarily after the conclusion of <br />daily Rodeo activities for music,dancing,and alcohol consumption.The design of this area <br />disperses congestion points by distributing two bars,and stage with dancing area about the <br />gathering space.The organization of the indoor bar,beverage cooler,office,toilet rooms, <br />green room for the band,and the stage provide a boundary for the outside gathering space. <br />Overhanging grandstands allow for a significant portion of the exterior space to be covered <br />from the elements. <br />Architectural Systems <br />All systems below are proposed based on first cost,lifecycle cost,durability,maintenance, <br />constructability,aesthetics and respect to historic precedent. <br />Exterior Wall Systems <br />The primary exterior wall material is CMU with an anti-graffiti sealer.Select areas of the <br />CMU are painted with the signature red found on the rodeo arena wall.All toilet rooms and <br />concession stands are to be configured such that they can be drained down in winter months if <br />not in use. <br />A wood "screen"system is applied at key locations around the project as both a screening <br />element and at areas denoting importance.The screens consist of fire treated and stained 2x8 <br />material which is mounted on painted,galvanized steel vertical tube supports.It serves as an <br />interpretation of the historic fence and also existing wood seen in the "Western Village"at the <br />design development report •alsc architects (01-24-2017)
