Project Description

$8 million, 30,000-SF LEED™ Platinum community center, that includes an auditorium, multipurpose / classroom spaces and a large commercial kitchen. The lobby acts as a city square providing the building with a social center. The patrons can now mingle and survey the entire facility together at one time. It is the place to meet and a space to relax between classes.

Floor to ceiling glass was installed throughout the lobby to provide natural light. The center is a Hurricane Shelter, equipped with full-building emergency power generation and HVAC backup system with continuous runtime for seven days.
