Viable community services - social service agencies, recreational facilities,
educational institutions, libraries, community centers, child and elderly
daycare centers, and many others - are indispensable to a neighborhood’s
quality of life. They provide essential services and opportunities for
neighbors to build a cohesive social life. Creative design of community
service facilities is integral to their effective functioning. The City
Design Center has been asked to assist in the needs assessment and design
of several community service facilities. Community service feasibility
studies and facility design, however, have been part of many other of
the Center’s assistance projects as well, especially those addressing
broader community planning.
