OFFICERS’ SQUARE

• Stage to be sited and oriented for good sight lines for spectators from adjacent plaza and lawn. 45-degree angle shown conceptually to reflect this relationship.

• Maintain a sense of view and connection to the St. John River.

• Provide a sense of enclosure to Officer’s Square. This is more important on the west edge of the square than the north (where a sense of connection to the river is desired).

• All facades and architectural elements should be well designed and have quality materials; its presentation to the main square (the lawn area) to be highest quality; back of house to facing the parking is also important.

• Architectural design influenced by heritage and landscape context, but contemporary expression is desirable.

• Support elements (Zamboni, back of house, etc.) to be minimized visually to support the above design objectives.
