About Community Workshop #2

Saturday, April 30, 2022 (happening this weekend!)

Presentation of Concepts and Charrette

10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

781 Tennis Drive, South San Francisco

This event starts with a statement of welcome followed by a brief presentation of ELS’ programming and design efforts over the previous three weeks. ELS will present a draft program outlining potential features and the size and scope of various proposed project elements. Two to three concepts will show how the program elements fit our site constraints and budgetary requirements. Following the ELS presentation, all attendees will be invited to join a Table-Top Design Team for a twenty-minute charrette. This process allows you to comment on and evaluate the two to three concepts presented by ELS. You could also suggest other ideas or even a completely new concept. Each Table-Top Design Team will present its findings in a brief presentation following the charrette session. ELS and the City team will collect and record each team’s findings and synthesize all data into a preferred conceptual direction reflecting the consensus achieved. The preferred direction will be presented at Community Workshop #3.
