Here is the starting of my space diagram. It all centers of of the centralized track. As I see it currently I should be able to fit in 1,000 seats into the wide parts of the track, this allows me to place commercial spaces with glass both front and back to not only be able to have a view of the outdoors but also allow views onto the track. I placed a majority of my storage in the basement area since it doesn't need day lighting B/c it is only accessed a limited times a day. Mens/Womens restrooms are also located in the basement level thus separating the athletes from spectators (all athlete activities except for gym are in lower level with its own access) There is also restroom access from the track area for judges and volunteer so they don't have to go into the locker room area. This plan does not show corridors or entry/exit points, those will show up as my plans get more detailed.
Andrew,
The bubble diagrams completed in bright colors and separated into the three levels really illustrate how the different functions are arranged and how they can operate. These bubble diagrams help to explain your ideas about separations of the athletes and the public, the track and the commercial spaces, the active and the storage uses, etc. Thanks for posting these.
