41 beach access points
SB has been a main historical beach access point with amenities & a facility for the public

3. Drainage Issues at the Beach Parks
Why ?
Drainage Issues at the Beach Parks
A safe and secure facility
A facility that can support a half a million guests
A facility to house the operations department
Improved & expanded amenities
Challenges at the existing facility
the Park Board conducted a Master Planning Study for the Beach Parks

4. Inefficiencies M Slides Inefficiencies: Ad hoc use of space over time
Varying mechanical systems
Added security measures
Unprogrammed space

5. Aging Facility Current Pavilion Constructed in 1984
Aging Facility built in the early 80’s:
Compromises
Structural deterioration
Weathering in a corrosive environment
Current Pavilion Constructed in 1984
$55-70k Annual Maintenance Expense

6. Working with Rogers Partners
After a master planning process in the Park Board began the conversation of the need for a new facility for the park and the long lead time it would take for us to get there. In January of 2017 Rogers Partners was hired.

7. Vernacular & Climate
Designing the project in tune with solar orientation, prevailing winds, its beach front context and the ever present threat of extreme weather creates an opportunity to develop a building that is site specific, sustainable and resilient.
M Slides Vernacular & Climate:
They looked at the need for shade, protection & ventilation – 3 slides
Climate with beautiful sunny days and massive storms
Solar orientation and wind direction on site
Quote from presentation
AND multiple Precedents for Public Places for Recreation and Enjoyment

8. Community Engagement MSlides Community Engagement:
In addition to PB staff, Trustees and City Council
PB Community Committees
The wider Galveston Community
Received feedback on needs/desires through traditional means and social media campaigns

9. Concept / Programming Highlights
Consolidated Park Operations
Vertical Promenades of Varying Slopes
Natural Ventilation
Revenue Generation
Multiple Vantage Points
M Slides Concept / Programming Highlights:
Click through 7 statements
High Visibility for Concessions
New & Exciting Amenities
PPP & Small Business Opportunity

10. Potential Material Palette
M Slides Potential Material Palette:
Sustainable materials -- 2
Materials that provide visual interest
Examples that provided design inspiration

11. Preliminary Site Strategy
M Slide Preliminary Site Strategy:
Existing site components
Potential site on axis to Broadway
Where I-45 drops into the Gulf of Mexico
with Storage Building & VIC up at the Seawall with Bathrooms
continued dialogue and collaboration with Texas General Land Office

14. Operations Maintenance & Revenue Study
M Slide Operations Maintenance & Revenue Study:
Context – inefficient lacks sufficient revenue generation
Vision – make it a premier facility again to support multiple spaces & attractions
Program – expand revenue generation & programming
Financial Implications – looked at income through admissions, events, concessions, restaurant / café and other income against expense

16. Additional Considerations
Park Board to continue to drive entrepreneurial revenue
Work with local businesses to develop a PPP for the larger amenities in the Pavilion
41 Beach access points across Galveston
PPP = vet the PPP opportunities with the local community, what that structure looks like, whether there is interest and what the viability is; especially for the restaurant at the pavilion
1 Beach access point with large scale infrastructure and superior amenities

17. A Vision for the Future
CLICK The Park Board is asking City Council to endorse the process to date and authorize them to move forward in the FY year with
Architectural pre-design with engineering narratives and schematic design with mechanical/electrical/plumbing systems for a new pavilion;
2) work to identify funding sources for the project and;
3) vet the public private partnerships with the local business community for concession/lease opportunities at the pavilion.
