PNGISD Multipurpose Facility
- Thread starter IndianFan
- Start date
I have seen some conceptual drawings. But being that they hired an architect I would be led to believe they will be different. The building is not supposed to be air conditioning that will cut off a ton of money.

Once again, just curious. Articles mention that the multipurpose facility will be 17,000SF and include a 50 yard field. The superintendent also mentioned that including technology classrooms would be a goal.
A standard width field is 53.5 yards. So a 50 yard field + end zone would be 28,620SF plus whatever sideline area they want to fit in.
Looking at the original drawings of the stadium expansion, the area they have to build out would easily allow an 80+ yard field. That would be a 43,000+ square foot building.
Calculating the area based on satellite image indicates a potential area of 51,000SF.
The math isn't adding up...
This post from 2010 includes a drawing that shows a larger planned practice field area. Maybe the 17,000SF number was a typo?

Interesting
Not the original specs.
Kinda wish we would wait to get what was originally proposed even if it takes a while. My donation was modest but still a donation. Would be interesting to know the average donation of the 120,000 given by the PNGABC from us.
Not complaining, just curious about the particulars.
Not what the letter said.

It would be a shame if they end up building some compromising structure just to build it. Especially if the superintendent or other school admins are influencing decisions that take away from the sports aspect.
I guess this could be similar to the past controversy that existed back when there was contention between booster club and the school or coaches.
If money is raised for a specific purpose, with plans in mind, those contributing the funds should have a voice, and the school should listen. In this case, the best multi-sports facility that the private contributions can buy. The most field surface and best ventilation would be most advantageous to sports or band activity. An 80 yard field would be better than 50, unless they need storage space for related equipment.

These are not the drawing that I have seen. I'll try to find that picture.
As far as the classrooms go, BF said that they weren't doing that now. The reason that it was originally stated was, since one of the refineries was donating, and, since they cannot donate to "Strictly sports", they considered combining some classrooms, to make everything legit. Makes sense.

Not sure, but sounds like BS to me. BASF donates to the scoreboard, soccer field, etc... For whatever reason the decision makers(whoever that is) wants it now.
What refineries donated and how much. No AC really means no classrooms. Name me one classroom in PNG without AC?
Just be straight forward and name who made the decision to build a lesser I.F. --- no big deal!
:welcome:
When I post questions, it's just because I am curious. Anything we build is great -- just be upfront and honest.
Like I have posted many times, we have a great program with great kiddos and fans. Our Program is growing with good young players and young coaches.
Thanks to anyone who can answer the questions with regard to who makes the decisions on the I.F.
Promise me we didn't give all the money to the School Board who don't have a great track record for spending $ on sport.
Yep no AC till my Jr year.PNG Proud said:

Bark, to answer your question, of the 120,000 donated from the booster club, 73,000 came from the booster club general account. Anytime someone made a donation for the building, that money was deposited into the buster club building fund account. Hope this answers your question.
