The Community Centre site is bordered on the west by San Pedro Creek, the north by the Justice Center Parking Garage and the east by South Flores. The new building is closer to the creek with a small parking lot at the east end of the site. A tower portal at the northeast corner of the site creates a landmark enhancing the “visual way finding” of the entry. The architectural image of the Community Centre inspired by Spanish colonial architecture incorporates colonnades, courtyards and small cloistered gardens. Envisioned in the primary courtyard is climbing wisteria, bougainvillea and water features encouraging a space for gatherings or solitary meditation.
