1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Sprinker Recreation Center in Spanaway, Washington has been serving Pierce County since 1976. Sprinker is classified as a Regional Park and serves the local community as well as provides a regional attraction for indoor and outdoor activities. Most notably, Sprinker Recreation Center is home to a NHL regulation size ice rink that is a major attraction for figure skating practices and exhibitions, hockey leagues and public skate opportunities.

With the NHL expansion to Seattle in 2021, there is the opportunity to grow and expand youth and adult hockey leagues at Sprinker. To accommodate the increased demand and expanded activity, new team rooms are needed at the facility. The addition of 5 team rooms that are scaled to meet the needs of today’s hockey teams will allow the facility to host a variety of hockey games, tournaments and skating competitions. This report analyzed the addition of team rooms that would be accomplished by remodeling the existing classrooms on the south side of the Recreation Center.

In developing project alternatives, the follow goals were set:

• Meet needs of users (youth and adult hockey; ice skate competitions; space for teams of 20 or less with gear)

• Least impact to the functionality of Sprinker’s operations

• Cost effective

• Meet ADA Regulations and SafeSport Guidelines

Four alternative designs were compiled for consideration. The preferred alternative was chosen based on how well each of the project goals was met. The preferred alternative would add 5 locker rooms and allow two teams on the ice while potentially three teams que for play or use for other skating activities. The team rooms will replace two existing community rooms and storage. The Rainier and Alder Rooms are Sprinker’s primary meeting spaces and will remain available for public rental use.

The 2018 estimated construction cost for the preferred alternative is $1,118,882. The total project cost for the preferred alternative, which includes the construction costs plus design and permitting costs is estimated to fall within the range of $1,622,377 and $1,734,267 in present day dollars. A breakdown of the estimated construction cost can be found in the appendix.
