Space Needs Study

 The project's objectives were:

-To study the space needs of the Town of Suffield.
-To establish a long-term space plan to meet those needs.
-To synthesize program and facility information with the Town's strategic goals.
-To create a proactive plan for the future development of the town's facilities.

Our team and the Space Needs Committee concluded that the Town's needs are best met by the creation of a Town Administration "Campus", grouping together three (3) projects, and an additional project on the Town Garage site:

-Build a new Land Use Office Building behind the former Ambulance Building.
-Renovate the Town Hall (with a new Records Room expansion).
-Utilize the former Ambulance Building to accommodate Parks & Recreations, Mini-bus office and 2 Mini-bus garages.
-Build a new Cold Storage facility on the Town Garage site.
