HOCAK KIJIRE NAGU COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION MAY 2011 7 www.strolloarchitects.com 718 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803 Tel: (407) 423-5355 Chapter 7 is a “Growth Plan” for Kijire Nagu campus. This chapter provides some detail into the housing units that may be added at any point in the future because of a need to add more healing beds on the campus. Future housing units may address program areas that are an expanded version of the current projected substance abuse, mental health and trauma services. Future need could have some other area of service such as Transitional Housing, Re-entry services, elder care, relapse prevention, or any number of possibilities. It simply explores the possibility of adding more housing units and beds in a well planned campus setting. Chapter 8 is the estimated construction costs of construction. This will cover all “hard and soft costs”, which essentially means the campus will have “turn-key” buildings when completed and will include all new furniture, fixtures and equipment. As indicated, there are estimated square footages and estimated costs for construction included with each concept in these chapters and it is consistent with industry standards for estimating purposes only. These are based on 2011 information and estimates and projected with increases as indicated in each section. Chapter 9 contains the estimated annual operating costs for the facility in both staffing and facility support means. There is a wide range of costs to be considered here and many areas are offered with the best potential solution or source of services and information available. There are provided job descriptions and a wage scale range that went into projecting these costs. What will impact true operations costs will be the selected type of power, heat and air handling, and water treatment services that will ultimately be provided. There has been significant support during this project to make the campus as energy independent and as green as possible. The final selected mechanical components will ultimately provide greater details on both original cost and on long term impact on annual operations costs. Chapter 10 has funding strategies for the project. This is framed in both potential construction cost funds and also for funding some of the ongoing operational costs associated with Kijire Nagu. The funding strategies and options developed by Strollo Architects in conjunction with the Ho-Chunk Planning Committee are provided in this chapter as well. Chapter 11 is conclusions. It covers the closing comments and wraps up the report. The recommended campus design is provided with the flexibility for future expansion to house additional or other types of target populations in the future, if the Ho-Chunk Nation elected to do so in the future. Approaches to organization and development of the required spaces are illustrated in several preliminary design concepts included in this document.
