Our Needs

Before any steps can be taken to achieve the above goals, we need to ensure our building meets City Codes, specifically for fire safety. In a building of our size that means we need a sprinkler system before we can open our doors to the public. We firmly believe in the vision for our building and the benefits it will offer to our city, therefore we’re looking to our community to join us in raising this barn, in a manner of speaking. We are in need of funds to cover:

• A Fire Suppression System and Fire Blocking. A building of our size requires a combination of Fire Suppression (sprinklers) and Fire Blocking (dividing the space with adequate fire-blocking walls and doors).
• An Elevator. This is not an immediate need, but if we have any remainder from our fundraiser, it will go toward the goal of making the building accessible. Any portion of our future phases which relies on the higher floors of the building will require an elevator to meet ADA standards, but more than that, we wouldn’t want anyone to miss out an experiencing this building simply due to physical limitations.
