These community outreach meetings are being conducted to understand community needs for a proposed arts venue in the Reston Town Center. The proposed arts center would be a result of a proffer from Boston Properties in the next phase of Reston Town Center development (Block J). The proffer would provide for an approximately 60,000 gross square foot facility to house a stage suitable for large-scale music and dance performances, as well as other arts-related amenities.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Welcome by Beverly Cosham, Chair, Reston Community Center Board of Governors Please take your seats Restrooms are located . . . Thank you for coming. . . .
- Amy + Sue: Welcome! We appreciate you taking the time to meet with us tonight. We look forward to hearing your input on the Feasibility Phase of this exciting potential project, the Reston Arts Center! This event is the first of a series to solicit Reston and Fairfax County community input to help inform the programming and resulting cost estimate for this feasibility phase. Your feedback is crucial to help us plan and design this facility to best meet the needs of your community. A couple of housekeeping items: These are all public meetings that are being recorded so that people who can’t be here can view them at a later time and contribute in writing. They will all be recorded – videotaped at the in person meetings and recorded virtually for the online meetings. There are snack and sandwich boxes on the side of the room – now is a great time to partake before our discussion later. Introductions: Thank you to Reston Community Center for hosting this event and facilitating this dialogue with the community. And DPWES represents the County’s interest in reviewing the proffer and has considerable technical expertise with this type of capital facility development. And we are Sue Hains and Amy Upton from Grimm + Parker Architects –a local architectural design firm that will be leading these discussions and translating what we hear from you to programming and space planning to generate a cost estimate.
- A brief agenda for tonight’s meeting. We will be taking the first 20 minutes for a brief introduction, some scene setting, and project overview. That will leave us with a solid hour for a discussion – we have a series of questions to go through and we’d love to hear from all of you tonight in this large group. And in the final 10 minutes we will wrap up, cover any final Q+A, and talk about the next focus group sessions.

- Years of outreach and analysis has already taken place and gives us confidence that this Reston Arts Center Feasibility Study is the next step to take. Schools are not a viable option for most non-profits Arts content providers use a lot of “alternative” space – e.g., churches, community center social spaces, etc.
- Read slide
- Great location for public transportation (Metro, Bus), walking (connections across streets and across the W&OD Trail), and easy access from the Toll Road and Parkways. Easy walk from the Reston Town Center just north of the trail.
- Here’s the same vicinity map with an overlay of the Boston Properties Development Concept showing the site in the lower right hand corner – Block J.
- And here’s a blow up of that concept – you may have already driven or walked around the Block A and B buildings that are almost complete so you can get a sense of the scale of the development – it’s much smaller scale than you think and very walkable with lots of gathering spaces, shared parking, bike lanes, leisure spaces as well as restaurants/retail/residential and offices.
- This is a Use diagram to show you the variety of program types in the new development plan.
- Please use the clickers we have for your use or your own cell phone or mobile device. If you are using your own mobile device please use Chrome – not internet explorer to type in www.ttpoll.com
- Also – bring poster boards and easels with each question to write up answers on post-its as people speak out their answers.
- This is where we presenters turn into listeners – we want to give our audience a voice. We have an hour of time – 5 questions. We want to make sure everyone has a chance to be heard – let’s stay positive and be respectful of time and giving a chance for others to give their answers.
- Content delivery – activities, experiences, workshops, galleries, performances
- Accessory uses like physical spaces, snacks, liquor service, comfortable restrooms, furniture, offices spaces, etc.
- wh
- If there’s time
- We will have 4 more outreach meetings, every two weeks. The presentation will be the same, but we will be drilling down to more focus to different activities and arts feedback. The next 3 meetings are smaller break out sessions – two are in person here and the third is virtual with an on-line meeting platform like Zoom. In 2 weeks we will meet with the Performing Arts Groups Two weeks after that in mid March we will focus on Visual Arts Then at the end of March we will focus on Arts Education, Schools, Equity/Opportunity Neighborhood. We will conclude on April 4 with a wrap up meeting, again virtually, to confirm your community’s needs and desires for this new Reston Arts Center.
- The recording of tonight’s meeting will be accessed via the Fairfaxcounty.gov website – as will a PDF of these presentation slides. Thank you again for all of your input tonight – we are excited about this project and the opportunity to learn from you all tonight.
