This drawing depicts the front of Tiger Inn with the
addition of the turret on the east end of the building.
The major changes brought forth by the addition to the club house
are most evident from this viewpoint. The turret, along with the
artful roof line, add to the traditional features of the Tiger Inn club house.
TIGER INN REBORN
For the new millennium, Tiger Inn must address the needs of an
expanding membership and the evolving changes in the workplace
affecting the lifestyles of students. Tiger Inn has always been popular
as both a dining club and as a social and entertainment center. To
remain so, the building, and the use of it, must remain flexible and
expand when necessary to include new activities and needs. Our sections
have doubled, requiring more space for dining and entertainment, while
current trends require a facility that accommodates more study areas,
and more awareness and accessibility to the technology available as
study aids.
The changing needs of students and the changing face of Tiger Inn
While the social lives of students will always be important, the
increasing competitiveness in the workplace has resulted in more
importance being placed on academic achievement than ever before. With
growing numbers of students attending the university, study spaces are
becoming crowded and are often no longer conducive to study. Tiger Inn
is beginning to be seen as a place to study as well as play and the
additional study space will become a central part of members' lives.
The additional concentration on academic achievement will make
relaxation and social events more important than ever and, along with
increased membership, is an important reason to expand entertainment
space. Other clubs will always challenge Tiger Inn's appeal and
popularity and, despite recent good news on the membership front, or
perhaps because of it, the club must upgrade its facilities to remain
competitive and continue to attract new members.
To maintain the identity of Tiger Inn, it is important to conserve
its unique qualities. We have attempted to preserve the distinctive
impression of the grand staircase at the main entrance by incorporating
a light well that provides natural light that will reach the stained
glass and offer additional natural light in the dining room.
The historical nature of Tiger Inn is important, as are the memories
of the sections who have enjoyed its shelter. To further link the past
and the present, we propose to rebuild the turret next to the al fresco
dining area _ future generations will be able to enjoy what past
generations did. The turret will also create a bond between the
original building and the new addition: the rebirth of an original
piece of structure; the birth of the new addition; and the continuation
of Tiger Inn's popularity.
Further practical, but very necessary, items include improved fire
safety, additional storage and better distribution of men and women's
bathrooms. Other areas of proposed improvement include the mechanical
systems, a new roof, repairs to the half-timber exterior and an upgrade
of the windows.
While it is important for Tiger Inn to evolve with its students,
it has a history that is also important, both in its architecture and
in members' memories. The overall feeling of Tiger Inn should remain to
retain the link between different generations. This addition retains
the important spaces used by many sections, while providing for the
needs of new ones, ensuring Tiger Inn remains a popular and lively
establishment.
The additional space on the lower level will provide more entertainment
space at the basement level. Tiger Inn continues to be the most popular
club on the street. The basement expansion will ensure this tradition of
lively entertainment.
On the first floor the dining room seats will be doubled. By
extending the `Green Room' we can accommodate another 30 seats in the
dining room (for major weekends), or expand the Green Room for special
or formal events. If needed, the spaces can be used as one. This
flexibility will allow the spaces to accommodate any event that is
desired. Other amenities at the first floor level include better
circulation, an expanded kitchen and an additional porch area that is
accessible from the Green Room for al fresco dining.
On the second floor, we propose a library extension and new computer
space. Our new sections not only need additional academic space, but
also need to be well acquainted with the technology they will be using
in their work lives. A media room is included with TVs and VCRs for the
creation, editing and production of videos.
