Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center is dedicated to the preservation, creation, presentation, and promotion of the cultural arts of Mexican Americans and other Latino cultures.” The ESB-MACC is at the heart of assembly, learning, and arts for the La- tino and local community of Austin. Phase 1 of its construction was com- pleted in 2007, and in 2018 a plan was approved by Council, which outlines a further 2 phases that will secure the future needs of the campus. The diagrams below show the scope for each phase of the 2018 Plan; Phase 1 1998 - 2007 Phase 2 2017 onwards Phase 3 Future 165 ESB MACC Programming Presentation © Miro Rivera Architects / Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO / 165_ESB MACC_Programming Presentation_200302 3 ESB-MACC GOALS To preserve, create, promote and present the Mexican American Cultural Arts and Heritage along with other Latino Cultures. To improve existing spaces and add new areas in order to expand activities and programs for a growing community. To be a place of inclusion, expression and integration as well as a symbol of cultural permanence and identity. To be a bigger center of resources for the community, artists, and visitors. 165 ESB MACC Programming Presentation © Miro Rivera Architects / Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO / 165_ESB MACC_Programming Presentation_200302 4 STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT Virtual Meetings ESB-MACC Advisory Board 12.14.2020 - Advisory Board Members; PARD Management Team 01.08.2021 - PARD Leadership; ESB-MACC Staff Youth Group Community of Artists 12.17.2020 01.28.2021 02.01.2021 Education and History Stakeholders 02.02.2021 Community Leaders and Legacy Stakeholders 02.04.2021 Spanish only Community meeting 02.06.2021 - MACC Administration; - MACC Production Staff; - MACC Educators and Instructors; - Exhibitions Coordinator; - Culture and Arts Assistance; - Rentals and LAAP coordination; - Caminos Teen Program leader; - Caminos Teen Program Participants; - Former Caminos Teen Program members; - Latino Artists, poets, musicians and band members; - LAAP collaborators; - Academia Cuauhtli founders; - MACC tour guides/ teachers; - Tejano Genealogy Society of Austin leadership; - Academia Cuauhtli leader; - Tejano Genealogy Society of Austin leaders; - Educators; - A’lante Flamenco Team; - Other Community members; - MACC collaborator; - Community Leaders and longtime users of the MACC; - Former employees of the MACC; - MACC volunteers; - Artists and researchers; - Coordinators of MACC’s events; - Former MACC Advisory Board Members; 165 ESB MACC Programming Presentation © Miro Rivera Architects / Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO / 165_ESB MACC_Programming Presentation_200302 5 CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES Strategic The MACC should be a welcoming space. Right now there are no spaces for people to congregate and chat. The plaza is not very successful because of the sun, people invading with dogs and bicycles, no lighting nor feeling of safety, no respect for the Zócalo. We see the MACC as a defiant statement because of how it came to be, its History. This is the History of Chicanos in Austin, we want everyone to be aware of that. The MACC is that statement, that we’re still here. STRATEGIC We see ourselves as part of a larger project of education. We would love for the MACC to be a hub for educational reform. The need for more space for the community to participate in arts, poetry, music, dance, that’s where the focus needs to be to actively engage in culture and arts, and attract artists and people to come to the MACC for new experiences. Our community, the Latino community, the indigenous community, is the coming together of families. The MACC should be a joint part, a continuity of our neighbouring communities. 165 ESB MACC Programming Presentation © Miro Rivera Architects / Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO / 165_ESB MACC_Programming Presentation_200302 6 CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES Spatial SPATIAL The use of space is inconsistent: we always need to dislocate to accommodate other priorities. We need to take care of what we have first: improve the existing spaces. More classrooms and flexible spaces will help us improve and be more ambitious about our programs. It would be great to have larger rooms that could split into smaller ones. The gallery is a beautiful venue, but it lacks both a production space for variable art shows and storage space for equipment. The skylights are also a problem because it’s very hard to darken the space. We need to add shade: It’s very hard to have outdoor activities in the Zócalo, specially during the summer. 165 ESB MACC Programming Presentation © Miro Rivera Architects / Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO / 165_ESB MACC_Programming Presentation_200302 7 CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES Spatial SPATIAL The office space is inadequate. We are currently using storage closets as office space. We need more workstations for both permanent and temporary staff. The lack of dedicated storage is a very important issue since we often have to go through other program’s storage to get to our own. The capacity of the Auditorium is insufficient and its performance space is inadequate: we need a permanent stage. It’s impractical to install and remove the stage every time. Food is a big part of our culture. Having an industrial/mobile kitchen for culinary classes, that could serve the community and help youngsters learn a business would be amazing. We should place emphasis on the connection with the water. Having a deck out, places that allow people to be closer to the water can make the MACC more inviting. 165 ESB MACC Programming Presentation © Miro Rivera Architects / Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO / 165_ESB MACC_Programming Presentation_200302 8 CONTEXT Neighboring Projects Waterloo Greenway Status: In-progress (2021-2026) Waterloo Greenway is a 1.5-mile park system which encompasses 35 acres of connected green space, beginning from 15th St. and ending at the edge of Lady Bird Lake (alongside the MACC). Pontoon Bridge Status: Feasibility A new pontoon bridge is planned to con- nect the Waterloo Greenway project with South Austin. The floating bridge will pro- vide pedestrian access across Lady Bird Lake. Red River St. Extension Status: Feasibility Red River Street Development is a pro- posal to improve the Rainey Street area, by connecting Cesar Chavez Street with the MACC. The proposal involves a new pedestrian bicycle and vehicle route to improve mobility in the area, and possibly a new CapMetro bus station close to the campus. Rainey Street Trailhead Park Status: Feasibility Rainey Street Trailhead Park is a gateway to the riverside trails; an impor- tant entry point from Rainey Street that enhances the ecology of the area and provides new recreational uses, increas- ing amenities for the neighborhood and Trail users.

The outdoor space is used frequently by dog-walkers - Limited control of who enters the site - Not very secure at night - Bikes and scooters pass through the Zócalo, causing danger to pedestrians and children - Problems of misuse of the campus, including under sheltered areas and public restrooms Level -1 creates a natural boundary for the plaza without requiring something as divisive as a fence. Then with just 4 key control points, the ESB-MACC would be able to close the exterior space of 55,000 sq.ft. in order to host outdoor events/classes/festivals. Key: Strategic control points. Carefully designed permanent gateways for easy closure at night or for ticketed events 165 ESB MACC Programming Presentation © Miro Rivera Architects / Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO / 165_ESB MACC_Programming Presentation_200302 18 Program Areas and Distribution subject to change according to further coordination with ESB - MACC stakeholders.
