It put things into perspective. We were able to see how much room the MACC will have to host events. Whether they're small, medium or large, we have an idea that we are on track to and on scope or aligned with the scope of the community vision. Right now the work is mostly underground but is almost complete. So hopefully within the next month, we will start to actually see construction and building for the north and the south wing, and then work done on the zócalo and things of that nature.
Earlier this month, the advisory board received an update from project architects about some of the final designs for the project, which has faced some constraints due to inflation compared to what was envisioned prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. Most of the original plan remains, to nearly double the MACC's original 36,000 square feet, adding classroom, kitchen, meeting and administration space to the semicircular building structure. The centerpiece of the center's second phase is the zócalo, or plaza, which is intended to accommodate up to 5,000 people for concerts, festivals and other events.
