Proposed Alternative to the Curved Wall Concept Friends of the
Orange Depot By J David Derosier 1
Slide 2
Where to Put Utilities? Mechanical room too small for
electrical panels inside. Exterior HVAC components make noise and
detract from historic nature when viewed. 2

Rooms Too Small 3

Curved Wall Solution 1.Place electrical panels and controls on
exterior of building, outside mechanical room. 2.Place exterior
HVAC components outside of building outside mechanical room.
3.Construct Curved Wall to conceal components in 1 and 2 above from
view. 6-foot tall curved masonry wall, Approximately 23 linear feet
across front of bldg. 4

Results of Curved Wall Solution Isolates Depot building from
rest of campus Removes potential to use 200+/- of raised ground at
same elevation as building for stage area facing rest of campus.
Adds to extremely long distance from proposed parking lot to
Primary Entrance. 8

Stage ADA Access Too Far 9
Slide 10
Proposed Alternative 1.Add 2 L-shaped exterior walls to left
and right of proposed bathroom and mechanical room for expansion
via existing exterior doorways. 2.Lower ceiling height over central
portion of interior. 3.Add new concrete sidewalk pads in front of
entrance doors (east side) 4.Construct flat roof over lowered
ceiling and behind faade to accommodate exterior HVAC components.
With support rod for faade with possible gabled roof with
ventilation or no gabled roof. 10

4 New space for exterior HVAC equipment 4 Hidden behind faade
and sidewall Faade Gabled roof of material to allow airflow or left
open with rod to support faade Also allows for exterior electrical
to service holiday and/or festival stage lighting. Gable Roof Flat
roof over lower ceiling. New stack from ADA bathroom provides for
drainage. 13
Slide 14
Results of Proposed Alternate Mechanical room is enlarged for
electrical panels inside. Exterior HVAC noise dissipated upwards
away from visitors, and components hidden from view. Depot building
not isolated from rest of campus Potential to use 200+/- of raised
ground at same elevation as building for stage area facing rest of
campus. Exterior electrical panel @HVAC could service holiday
lighting and/or festival/stage lighting. Extremely long distance
from proposed parking lot to Primary Entrance can be addressed with
steps/ramp from 11 th street, or other solution. 14
Slide 15
Other Issues with existing plans Museum side is marked for
dual-use as conference room plus reception room. Primary Entrance
is very long distance from proposed parking area and sole
handicapped parking space. ADA toilet area very small.* Multi-angle
dividing wall for mechanical room gives appearance of an
after-thought.* *Proposed Solution addresses these issues 15
