Centre (Nepal)
Project description for renovation and new positioning
The
over 50 years old building of nowadays RCNP Headquarter station
at Kasarah is being renovated and converted for a principal use
as National park´s Headquarter as well as Information Centre.
From rough planning sketches we received and from several visits
by ARCO president Prof. H. H. Schleich a new concept for the so
far only extensively used building has been given.
New
plannings for contents eg. electrical installations and further
exhibition details have been drafted and are submitted to DG Dr.
Maskey and Chief Warden Mr. P. Shrestha. The suggested future
concept for the building is to house a newly to establish Information
Centre together with the Park´s adminstrative needs.
The Information Centre shall contain a presentation of Nepal´s
fauna and flora focusing on RCNP, also on the Park´s history
and conservation concepts. Generation of small income can be realized
by entrance fees, shop with local handicrafts (eg. carvings, grass
woven products, pottery, broschures, posters, postcards, films,
photos, etc.), a coffee shop also offering snacks, drinks a.o.,
guided tours around headquarter).
The whole building got new painting, masonry renovation and leakage
proived new roof cover. The inner parts will be painted, equipped
with new halogen spot lightening and receive registartion, coffee
shop and exhibition as well as new arrangement of seminar room
and staff rooms. Also a small collection room mainly serving for
a wet collection for voucher specimens of invertebrates, fishes,
amphibains and reptiles will be new. The exhibition will cover
