Multi-purpose spaces are provided within the facility to provide supporting agencies with meeting/training space for special programs.  These spaces, which include a gymnasium/auditorium, training rooms, and a conference room, may also be used by other community groups.  The striking barrel-vaulted roof over the gymnasium/auditorium is enhanced with glass and distinctive blue metal.
