Original Interpretive Structures Project RFP-stated Goals

• New “ghosted” or “interpreted” structure(s)

Allowing for a range of three-season programming, activities and possibly semi-permanent exhibits and/or experiences

• New enclosed building(s)

Allowing for first‐ ‐ ‐ ‐floor visitor ”Info” center and restrooms Police offices & Security offices were omitted from the program due to size requirements.

• New full‐

‐ ‐ ‐scale brick façade of a former building

Originally intended to be a wall of the Union Steamboat Façade but was changed to the proposed entire Union Block building – which was originally only intended to be a “ghosted” structure.

The Longshed’s Design Goals

• Evoke history (an homage to former buildings there) with a

new heavy timber & wood-clad design, with daylit clerestory monitor windows;

Vertical board & battens & Horizonal novelty/Dutch lap siding

• Large, open, flexible, ground floor plan with a useable 2nd-

level mezzanine overlooking the main hall.

• All doors/entrance flush to exterior grade boardwalk.
• Ground level roofs; corrugated metal ‘shanty’ material.
• Upper roofs; metal standing-seam.
• Internal and externally-accessed public toilets; for the

building users and Canalside visitors.

Longshed Use Assumptions

• Year-round usage opportunities!
• First use is designed as an “Artisan Factory” for the

purposes of constructing a replica canal boat.

Buffalo Maritime Center will be the initial tenant, with a 3- year lease arrangement to build a replica of NY Governor DeWitt Clinton's packet boat

• Toilets will be first sized for “factory” use in order to

maximize useable floor area; two (2) ADA.

• Future renovation (following boat building) will add

another six (6) toilets, for a total of eight (8), to accommodate various “Assembly” within the building as well as public uses for visitors to Canalside.
