For more than two years a large group of Watergate homeowners has met as the CARS Committee (Common Area Renovations) for the purpose of guiding the proposed renovations. Our goal is to create a lighter, brighter and more modern environment within our limited budget. A professional design team has followed our guidelines and created a demonstration hallwayfor your review and comment during the month of October.

COMMON AREA RENOVATIONS AND SIGNS (CARS) Community Comment Period October 1-30, 2010. The WCA and CARS Committee are proud to present the prototype for the common area renovations and the fire suppression system located on the 3rd floor of E Building, between 6 and 8 Captain Drive. The prototype consists of two designs, Options A and B, each one including a carpet selection, coordinating paint samples, a unit door with surround finishes, unit ID signage, and light panel options with the new Watergate graphics. You will notice the new, brighter lighting in the hallway which includes down- and up-lit corridor fixtures, lobby landing down lights, four new exit signs, and unit decorator lights. New paint colors are presented on the corridor walls, end walls, lobby landing walls, ceilings, and on two unit doors and two elevator doors. In the middle of the prototype area, there are a few feet of exposed fire sprinkler pipe and 120 feet of the proposed enclosure. You may visit the prototype any time between October 1 and October 30. There will be comment cards in the elevator landings at both 6 and 8 Captain, as well as at the WCA office. You can also give your comments at the WCA website. If you have questions or would like more information, members of the CARS Committee will guide a walk-through of the prototype two times during the month: Wednesday, October 13, at 6 p.m., and Sunday, October 24, at 11 a.m. Please meet by the elevator on the third floor at 8 Captain. We look forward to your feedback on the work presented. Jean Goldman and Judith Choate CARS Committee Co-Chairs
