Location: Charlotte, NC

The Eastway Regional Recreation Center was built to connect and inspire the diverse community it serves across age, race, gender and cultural backgrounds. Vibrant colors and wood tones reflect a region deeply rooted in agriculture and textiles.  The building form weaves together the community and recreation building program through open, interconnected spaces, angled and textured forms, and a vibrant color palette.  The entry lobby was scaled to communicate invitation and organizes the program elements with community spaces (demonstration kitchen, nature center, senior center and technology lab) on one side, and active spaces (fitness area, gymnasium and aquatics) on the other.
