Watauga Active Senior Adult Center Grand Opening

BRS designed the Active Senior Adult Center addition to be the place to go for health and social interaction.
ContinueTuesday, June 27, 2017, the City of Watauga celebrated the grand opening of the much-anticipated Active Senior Adult Center extension to the Watauga Community Center.
Mayor Hector F. Garcia welcomed City Council Members and Watauga residents with a speech expressing his pride in the City of Watauga for coming together on a project to help so many senior citizens. City Manager Greg Vick was all smiles as he thanked Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture and Haydon Building Corporation for designing and building a magnificent addition for the City.
Over the past three years, the City Council had decided more could be done to help their senior population. The existing 1,800 square foot Senior Center was over 70 years old and unable to accommodate the range of programs required for today’s active adults.
BRS was hired to develop plans for a 5,000 square foot addition to the existing Watauga Community Center that would give the Senior population direct access to the facility and create a new space with modern amenities and programs dedicated to Seniors. The overarching goal of the project was to make the lives of the Seniors better and healthier, and the multi-use addition is designed with the active senior in mind.
BRS designed an extension of the Community Center with a separate entry at the junction of the addition for ease of access to both centers. To make the experience more enjoyable, a new reception desk was added so visitors would be greeted on arrival and have easy access to information about both centers and the available programs and amenities.
The new addition includes a kitchen, dedicated restrooms designed for Seniors, and a large flexible space to support a variety of programs and events. The multi-purpose great room can be divided into two large classrooms or assembled for large social gatherings, dining, card playing, or dancing.
Seniors can also get together for healthy activities with full access to the gymnasium, adult fitness equipment and classrooms of the existing Community Center. This access and the dedicated space for active senior adult activities make this addition the place to go for health and social interaction.
Now it’s time to work off the cake that we enjoyed celebrating with!
