Project Description

This project included the demolition of the existing 24,000 SF Linden Community Center, which was originally constructed in 1951, construction of the new 50,000 SF Community Center facility, and the redevelopment of the 19.5 acre park. Elford reconstructed the new building and incorporated the bricks from the original building. Landscape design was done by MKSK Studios, and the new Community Center was designed by Moody•Nolan.

The new park features a spray ground, teaching kitchen, gymnastics room, walking paths, recording studio, full-size high school gym, medical partner space, multiple classrooms for community-wide youth learning, and a new, larger parking lot.
