Representatives from the City of Wichita, Kansas and community members convened this morning to break ground on the new Brewer Community Center. The project will renovate and expand the city’s 1958 recreation center to meet growing programming demands and technology requirements.
A team lead by SFS will renovate the existing building by updating mechanical, plumbing and fire suppression services for code compliance while maintaining its present functionality. The main entry will be reoriented to the south end of the building, directly across from the new building entry. New partitions will be introduced at select locations to improve programming opportunities and to maximize storage.
SFS also designed a 22,000 square foot new building adjacent to the existing recreation center. The new building will feature a 11,000 square foot gymnasium, 1,900 square foot multi-purpose studio, locker rooms, dining area accommodating up to 150 occupants, meeting room accommodating up to 50 occupants, lounge and administration spaces.
SFS was on-hand to celebrate the occasion and give congratulations to the entire project team.
