Recommendations Our charge was to create a concept of a community center. Through our research, the task force created a concept of a center with coordinated and collaborative services, a comprehensive information and volunteer capability, created and designed for all members of the community, with long- needed space to bring us together, with events to promote our cultures and passions, and age- targeted programs that meet the current and future needs of our residents. We feel that this concept can only be realized by having a central location: a building. Programs and Services • Move Recreation Department and Human Services Department into the community center to share resources and expertise • Create a centralized information and volunteer service, possibly part of the main lobby with both digital and personal interfaces • Encourage casual gathering and drop -in activities • Provide interest -based activities and programs to encourage intergenerational contact • Add therapeutic programming to reach more members of the Lexington community • Encourage neighborhood- sponsored activities Synergistic Building Concept Rooms Large Dhisible Small Counseling Art Computer p Infornal aS Eating and Meeting\ 6 0 tj Area 0 it D° 0 p on ao 13 00 0 n °x0 0 0 a Conversational Table Seating Seatin j s tP 01 Main Entrance Town Information/ Volunteer Center November 26, 2012 Prior to the survey, we created a graphic representation of the preliminary community center concept. This is not a design we recommend. It is presented here to help visualize the concept and understand the synergy of locating the services and activities for all ages in one place. Final Report 23
