The Simons Community Recreation Center is located in the West Oak Lane
section of the City.
The project expanded an existing 15,000 SF recreation
facility into a $4.5 million 35,000 SF
community center for the City of Philadelphia
Department of Recreation. The project includes
a gymnasium/auditorium
space, a daycare facility, classrooms, various activity rooms; a skate
house
and renovated ice rink. The volumes of the original building and
its additions are expressed
in six vibrant colors and various geometric forms.
