a TS PANTHER BOYS CLUB REVITALIZATION PROJECT
On November 11, 1987, the City Council authorized the City Manager to conduct an
adaptive reuse study of the Panther Boy's Club facility located at 1519
Lipscomb. The funding for this study was obtained from both private and public
sources. The purpose of the study was to determine the following:
1. To verify the accuracy of existing architectural drawings;
2. To determine the integrity of the buildings structural , electrical and
mechanical systems;
3. To develop a building program that reflects the recreational, social and
office space needs of the City and the Boys Club;
4. To determine the feasibility of project implementation from both
physical and fiscal standpoints;
5. To develop a plan for the property owned by the City and the Boys Club,
and
6. To develop cost estimates for rehabilitating each structure.
After reviewing the results of the study and discussing several options for the
use of the buildings under study, it is the opinions of the Park and Recreation
Advisory Board, the Board of Directors of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Fort
Worth, neighborhood organizations, and the City staff that a joint effort to
renovate and utilize the Panther Boys Club facility would be beneficial to the
citizens of Fort Worth. (Recently the Panther Boys Club, North Fort Worth Boys
Club and the Girls Club merged to form the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Fort
Worth. )
The proposed project will include the renovation of the south complex of the
Panther Boys Club facility to be a City of Fort Worth recreation center.
Because City bond funds would be used in this project and bond funds can only be
used on property owned by the City, the Board of the Boys & Girls Club is
willing to deed the property to the City of Fort Worth. The project would be
completed in two phases.
Phase one will include the renovation of the buildings' exterior and the first
floor of the educational building and the conversion of the sanctuary into a
gymnasium. Lockers, meeting rooms, and office space will be included in the
first floor of the education building.
The cost for Phase One include:
Construction Cost $816,395
Architect Fees 82,980
Administration/Inspection 40,820
TOTAL COST $940,195
