Coldstream Community Centre design gets final tweaks

May 28, 2021 | 6:00 AM

Coldstream council has endorsed the final few items from the Community Centre Advisory Committee, including exterior finishing of the hall and Maven Lane Day Care Centre.

The design of the building caused considerable debate, with Coun. Richard Enns earlier comparing it to a dairy barn.

The architect did make a couple of minor changes to the design.

First, the roof has been extended forward slightly, which will provide a higher ceiling in the gallery area, as well as reduce the front roof line of the veranda, allowing a better esthetic appeal to the front.

Secondly, they have accentuated the timber elements of the building by adjusting the front veranda as well as by adding timber features to the front roof line.

Council approved the advisory committee recommendation to have an asphalt roof versus a metal roof, and selected what was called ‘option one’ for exterior colours and finishing, with the exception of the window trim, which will be a darker brown.
