This 23,000 s.f. community center was the first entirely new community center to be built in the city in 10 years and the largest until 1998 to be built at one time. The center is located at Phil Chacon Park, a 50 acre multi-use park, and serves five neighborhoods representing a wide variety of socioeconomic and ethnic groups. The design incorporates a generous sky lit circulation spine from which all the major functions are accessed and supervised. These include a meeting room, classrooms, computer lab, weight room and a full sized gymnasium.
