Construction Considerations - Go here for more nuts and bolts construction stuff

General Concepts

Needs to feel put together. Aesthetic can be whatever you want, but it needs to be intentional. No random piles of hand me down garbage.

Need comfortable spaces to hang out near training areas.

Need performance area.

Fly rig needs dedicated space.

Need ability to easily convert between purposes where applicable (e.g. seating or a stage for shows in areas that are usually used for training)

Circus Facilities

Trampoline / Wall

  • 10' x 17' bed + edge padding
  • Bed material options
    • TKTK (PSCA-style bed)
    • TKTK (Brooklyn Zoo-style bed)

Foam Pit

  • Bottom options
    • Trampoline base[1], uses less foam but requires 3'-4' void underneath and foam pylons depending on the pit size
    • Base foam liner[2], uses more foam but only 1' liner depth
  • Edge pads

Tumbling Area

  • Eventual plan for spring floor?
  • Standard gymnastics floor is a 39 ft square (diagonal of 55 ft, which is a good reference length for any reasonable tumbling pass)

Static Aerials

  • 16+ indoor points on pulleys
  • 4+ outdoor points

Flying Trapeze

  • Indoor rig for year round flying

To Prioritize

  • Chinese Pole
  • Tightwire

General Facilities

  • Reception Desk (size TBD)
  • Bathroom (x2?)
  • Shower
  • Equipment storage (size TBD)
  • Member storage (size TBD)

Wish List

These are things that are potential nice-to-haves that might add too much to the construction cost to justify

  • Upper level viewing area (a la ECTA), adds a wow factor for watching most things but especially flying and could be good for shows/event

Existing Facilities

Necca Trapezium - Brattleboro, VT

$1.6M Building cost, designed by Turner Brooks Architect [3]

Madison Circus Space - Madison, WI

Estimated building cost $1M
