PIERCE COUNTY PARKS | Sprinker Recreation Center 2. INTRODUCTION PROBLEM STATEMENT The Sprinker Recreation Center is a competitive venue for hosting local and regional ice rink-based sporting events. The existing team locker rooms at the facility are inadequately sized, in poor condition, and lack the level of finishes and amenities to allow the facility to compete with other regional venues. The owner’s preliminary concept is to accommodate the needed team rooms by remodeling the existing classrooms on the south side of the recreation center immediately adjacent to the ice rink. The predesign study considered all viable options for incorporating the team rooms into the existing building. The analysis and design process included tours of comparable facilities in the Puget Sound region, the development of preliminary programming and needs assessment, selection of four layout alternatives to assess the feasibility of the project, and refining a preferred alternative including cost estimates.
