Centennial Hills Community Center
Las Vegas, NV
Year in Showcase: 2008
Project Description
Situated on 18 acres within a
100-acre park and civic campus,
the Centennial Hills Community
Center is organized similar to a retail
mall. A central promenade through
the building achieves the design goal
of providing a social hub that also
serves as a community events venue.
The main greeting and control desk
is situated at the building’s fulcrum,
where the promenade gently bends
and entrance paths from the north
and south converge. That allows for
the visibility of activity space portals
and of all of the public circulation
paths from a single, central location.
The mall concept also allows the
possibility of operating partnerships
through individual control of program
spaces. A gymnasium complex
anchors the west end of the building,
the Active Adult Center anchors
the central portion, and an aquatics
complex that boasts indoor and
outdoor pools anchors the east end.
Numerous activity spaces connect
these anchors, and the generous use
of glass walls heightens the mall
dynamic by making activities visible.
The linear design of the building
on a single level was accomplished
by recessing the gymnasium complex
four feet, stepping down the exterior
aquatics area and berming the
surrounding
landscaping.
