Photo gallery: Kroc Center house moving | The Augusta Chronicle

Several houses are being relocated from one part of the property to another to make way for the new Kroc Center building, scheduled to open in 2011. Salvation Army Maj. Bruce Jones says that once the cottages are in place, they will be refurbished and used for offices, a cafe-coffee house, a security station, a computer training lab and storage.

Nah, the building as a whole will probably be around the same height as a 2 or 3 story bldg.

The funny tower attached to the Kroc Center. It's a unusual shaped water slide. I know some people may have been wondering what that was.

Some of the Kroc Center highlights
:Mammoth aquatics center with 9,000 square feet of pools and an unusual water slide tower situated outside the main building.

:Classrooms, a 400-seat theater, a 270-seat banquet hall with a stage up front for a dinner theater, rehearsal areas and many other features.

:One of the project's signature features, which is being used as a model for Kroc Centers in other cities, will be a "First Stop Center" in a separate building from the main complex. The building will have 16 offices that could house 20 or more organizations.

:The design also includes walkways, parks, landscaping and about seven acres of undeveloped, flat terrain along the canal.

:Other amenities in the final design are: a fitness center and gym, aerobic and weight training areas, a senior lounge, computer lab, classrooms for adult education, art and dance programs, music rehearsal and teaching areas, a teaching kitchen for job training, an outdoor terrace overlooking the canal, a waterslide and a splash park.

It's going to be a really cool facility...who knows, it may just jump-start the redevelopment of the Sibley Mill.
