The Vision and The Need
The process is complicated and seems to go at a snail's pace, but we've waited a long time for this and everything needs to be done correctly, one step at a time. We know that the exciting reporting will happen when walls go up and the building takes shape, but in the meantime, we do what we have to do. So for now:
- RoTo Architects have submitted the final drawings to the City of Phoenix Developmental Services as part of the Pre-Application, which included the site plan, civil engineering drawings, and supporting documentation. From this the City will assign Liberty Wildlife a case manager from the City Developmental Services. After this initial submittal, RoTo, the civil engineers, Liberty Wildlife and the case manager will meet to get the City's feedback, marking the beginning of the approval process.
- The Design/Development stage will be completed by the end of January.
- The structural engineers are reviewing the architectural drawings and working to develop solutions for the structural systems.
- The preliminary soils report from the geotechnical engineer has been received indicating that the subsoil at the site is favorable for the structure.
- Mechanical Electrical Plumbing (MEP) narrative has been developed for narrative pricing purposes, which enables the design team to value engineer as necessary in order to move with confidence to the next phase.
- The cost estimators will complete the final three cost estimates.
- The Liberty Wildlife Vet Group will be responsible for providing specific equipment requirements for the rehabilitation area, including locations and adjacencies, utility requirements, and health considerations. Dr. Orr will review and comment on the layout of rehabilitation and enclosure areas. The construction documents stage will develop the Design Development drawings to include all requirements for construction. During this phase, we will finalize materials selections as well as construction details. The final set of documents will incorporate the coordinated drawings from all consultants on the design team. The next phase will be Bidding and Negotiation and the final phase will be the actual construction. We can hardly wait!
Move-in day will be the marker of "a dream come true." Stay tuned.
The Case For Funding
The new center will meet the needs of the community for an exceptional educational facility that is centrally located and accessible.
Designed by RoTo Architects from Los Angeles, the building will be a statement complementing the mission of Liberty Wildlife. Essential in the facility design is the commitment to engineer and build an environmentally sound building and to use that building as an educational tool. This design will exemplify a soft walk upon the earth, while keeping operating costs and resource consumption at a minimum. Visitors will experience firsthand an example of living with an environmental conscience. Tours and educational signage will emphasize the techniques used to operate this facility with a minimal impact on the environment.
We Need Your Help
You can help the wildlife community of Arizona during this time of urgent need. Your support will take rescue, medical intervention and rehabilitation programs to a new level of quality while enhancing community- and school-based educational initiatives. Successful completion of this campaign will create a model facility with comprehensive services to meet the growing needs of an increasingly endangered animal population.
The capital campaign has been structured to provide a variety of opportunities for involvement. With naming opportunities in the capital portion beginning at $10,000, the campaign offers a meaningful menu of funding alternatives and financial partnerships.
