Building Our Future Together at 320 E. 2nd Ave.
The Arc of Spokane currently operates out of two buildings a mile apart. One of these buildings is poorly designed for people using wheelchairs or other mobility aids. Its steep wheelchair ramp, narrow corridors and poorly equipped restrooms make visiting the building difficult for many of our constituents, and the age of the building (circa 1906) make an adequate remodel prohibitively costly.

|
As an agency that champions inclusion and accessiblity for people with developmental disabilities in our community, The Arc of Spokane must demonstrate in its own facility its commitment to these princples. By consolidating our operations at a single, easily accessible location we'll make it easier for our constituents to access our services. In October, 2009 The Arc's board of directors approved the purchase of the former Inland Power and Light building at 320 E. 2nd Avenue. By consolidating our operations there, The Arc can improve thequality of service we provide our constituents in the following ways:
|
|
|
|
- Better Public Access - A single location offers our constituents one-stop access to our programs and services. In addition, the 2nd Avenue building is more centrally located than our current buildings and easier to reach for our many constituents who depend on public bus service.
- Better Access for Wheelchair Users - With a gentle ramp at the front entrance, wide corridors and ample room in the bathrooms, the 2nd Avenue building offers better wheelchair accessibilty than our Boone building. By installing an elevator, we will make all levels of the building wheelchair accessible.
- More Space - With 21,544 square feet, the 2nd Avenue building offers 17 percent more space than we currently use at both our Boone and Indiana buildings, giving us room for future growth.
- A More Effective Organization - By consolidating our operations here, we'll improve communications within our organization and reduce building maintenance, utilties, travel and other expenses.

What It Will Cost
The building at 2nd Avenue cost $1.4 million. Renovating it will cost $1.8 million. Combined, the cost to consolidate our operations will be about $3.2 million.
How We'll Pay for It
By selling the two buildings we currently own, we'll raise $1.15 million (about a third the total cost). We're raising the remaining $2.05 million through a capital campaign. To date we've raised more than $1.4 million--nearly 70 percent of our $2.05 million capital campaign goal and about 44 percent of our total goal.
