[Imc-web] IMC Design Charette - April 12th as part of IMC Renewal Process

[Danielle Chynoweth]

Dear IMCistas,

*This year is the 15th anniversary for the IMC - and our 10th year in the
historic post office building.* The board is undertaking a year long plan
for celebration and renewal aimed at increasing its visibility, engagement,
and impact of the IMC.

Below are the projects the IMC Board will be focused on this year. One I
want to call your attention to is the facilities planning process which
requires the input from all working groups and projects of the IMC to
design for space needs. Considerations include: program needs,
accessibility, food prep needs, bathroom access, and signage and
visibility. We will be hiring an architect later in the Spring.

*You are invited to:*
*IMC Design Charette *
*to gather input and brainstorm together on spaces needs*
*Sunday, April 12th*
*4-6pm at the IMC*

Please note all IMC Board meetings are public - we meet the 3rd Tuesday of
the month from 6-8pm at the IMC. The next meeting will be Tuesday, April
21st 6-8pm.
