After our visit to Comanche, Oklahoma, back in April, the IQC team got to work designing a new community center concept for the town. These are the graphics depicting our final design. The site of the previous Woodrow Wilson building is on a huge empty lot of which the city of Comanche has obtained a majority. We developed a site plan for the entire lot for the future development of Comanche's main civic center. In addition to the community center, Comanche would like to build a new city hall, a police station, and a fire station. The potential fire station, which would have 8 to 10 bays, is located at the corner of two streets, right next to a major highway to quickly respond to many areas within the county. The city hall is located overlooking the highway. There is a steep drop off right before the highway, so the city hall would have an excellent view looking east. The community center is located to the west on the remains of the Woodrow Wilson building. A roundabout to the north would connect the community center and city hall, providing some additional parking and a drop-off area. In between all of the buildings is a park. There is a linear path that creates a physical and visual connection between the two main buildings. Although not included on the plan, there is space for a police station to be constructed next to the city hall. Final Plans |
