Racine Approves New Community Center Designed by SmithGroup
In August, officials for the city of Racine, Wisconsin, have approved plans to build a new community and health center, designed by SmithGroup.
The new Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center and Health Center will be an approximately 78,000 sf recreation and wellness center for the community, replacing the existing community center. The project is expected to break ground later this year.
“After more than four years of planning and public outreach, we are ready to build this facility that will transform neighborhoods that have endured some of the nation’s most extreme economic and racial disparities,” said Racine Mayor Cory Mason in a statement.
“This project combines the community center, health center, and educational programs under one roof to become more than the sum of their parts. This will create positive improvement for the city of Racine for decades to come,” he added.
