New Projects: Ray and Joan Kroc Center; Missouri Events Center

A roundup of groundbreakings and grand openings.

Construction is under way on a 17-acre campus in Augusta, Ga., for the $33.9 million Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center of Augusta. A major component of the facility will be the First Stop Center, from which more than 20 nonprofit agencies - including a local United Way chapter that will be headquartered there - will provide various services while utilizing a cooperative database. An arts, education and worship center will house a chapel and administrative offices, skills training suites, a 400-seat theater, a senior lounge, a computer lab, classrooms, music rehearsal spaces, a childcare area and an outdoor playground. A 270-seat banquet center with a teaching kitchen for job skills training will lead to an expansive outdoor terrace overlooking the scenic Augusta Canal. The recreation component will feature a comprehensive fitness center with a full complement of cardiovascular and strength training equipment and facilities, and an indoor aquatics center will feature a waterslide, a splash park and a lap pool. Designed by Denver-based Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture and Augusta-based Cheatham Fletcher Scott Architects, the center is expected to open late next year.
