Henry Woods is a strong champion of the previous two story addition to the Armory including a full service elevator but not including improvements to the existing building or a kitchen. Henry also argues that the weight room must remain in the Armory. The previous plan also assumed a weight room would be located on the second floor, requiring more reinforcement to handle the weight. He has submitted his justification for proceeding with his vision for the Armory, considered by previous Trustee Boards prior to the work of the Community Recreation Committee. The cost estimates Henry is using are current to 2012 and are less than the architect's estimate because he is proposing cost saving of $86,000 in site work that he wants done by city crews. This would require hiring additional temporary staff to complete as we do not have current staffing or expertise to complete that work. Henry's justification for the previous plan is attached below.
