Senior Thesis - Bloomfield School District Community Center project
The purpose of this design thesis was to use an existing structure and redesign the interiors for a different purpose. I took a historical school building and converted it into a recreational and wellness community center.
The center’s users would be district families, district personnel, district sports teams, and businesses located in the district. The center would offer programs for: senior citizens, adult education, young children, teen youth area, etc.
The concept of having a multi-use facility would provide timesaving efficiencies for individuals and families. Parents would make one trip to a facility where their children could attend an activity while the adult is using the centers resources.
The design inspiration was family, community, health and wellness. This facility would be a representation of the blending and the inter-relationships among all age groups (intergenerational). It would be more than just a recreational center but a total community center. It would be a combination of leisure, recreational, cultural and family center.

With the announcement of the closing of Bloomfield as a school, could this become reality?
ReplyDeleteAmy, it would be really neat if that would happen. The only thing is I don't think anyone at the board office would remember me discussing my project with them when I asked for permission to do the research at the school.
