Architectural Program

Team John Is Cool, Team JIC for short was retained to propose a commercial development for a site at 1254 E US 224. We wanted to design a place where people could go and have fun. We considered many ideas and we have narrowed it down to a Laser Tag Arena. We made this choice because it is safe and we believe that the location, being so close to a school, will bring in steady business. There will also be an arcade and a food stand along with the arena. This site couldnt be more than 15,000 square feet.
