With structured parking, they estimate <br />$8,000 a space, and therefore, based on land cost in the area and <br />the potential for land banking, they felt that surface parking <br />was appropriate. <br />Keith Reeves of Architects Design Group, Inc., next took the <br />floor. He reported that their methodology was to go through the <br />entire 9 block area, photographing each building and analyzing <br />it, and taking into consideration any that were of historical <br />significance. The first was the Women's Club which is on the <br />National Register, and the other the Courthouse, the main center <br />of which was built in 1937, the wings being added in the '50s. <br />Consideration was given to several options - tearing down the two <br />wings; keeping just a facade as an entrance to a series of <br />government buildings, and thirdly, determining if there was any <br />other potential use of the old Courthouse, possibly as a private <br />office building, museum, or cultural facility. Mr. Reeves then <br />went into a detailed review of their space needs analysis, which <br />they conducted over a period of almost a year and a half. He <br />advised that the old courthouse with the 2 wings, plus the Annex <br />and the State Attorney's building, contain a total of about <br />45,800 sq. ft., and their study indicated a need in 1988 of <br />approximately 75,000 sq. ft., which need was projected to <br />increase to about 103,000 sq. ft. by the year 2000. All this <br />was presented to the Board in 1988, and the Board elected the <br />option to build for the year 2000, but to construct what was <br />needed now as finished space (approximately 75,000 sq. ft.) and <br />to incorporate with the construction some 25,000 sq. ft. of <br />future expansion space, i.e., shell space that could be improved <br />in the future. Mr. Reeves further advised that in their cost <br />analysis, they basically determined a range from a low of about <br />$80 a sq. ft. up to as high as $150 per sq. ft. In their <br />projections carried into the master plan, they were utilizing a <br />4 <br />
