"The integration of the diverse programming is a model of what community centers can be! The 'street' concept works beautifully to reinforce and unify the 'neighborhood' of programs." -Rudy Fabiano AIA, Judge, Recreation Management
Deanwood Award Announcements: Committee of 100, Recreation Management
Our design for the Deanwood Community Center and Library has been recently honored with two awards: Recreation Management‘s Editor’s Choice Award and a 2011 Vision Award from The Committee of 100 on the Federal City.
Located in one of the DC’s oldest neighborhoods, the new Deanwood Community Center and Library is an innovative joint-use facility that features educational, recreational, and athletic programs for all ages. The wide variety of programs—Early Care & Education Center, recreation pool, sound recording studio, and public library—serve both the local community and others, drawing patrons from across the city.
Congratulations to the project team: Sean O’Donnell, Matt Bell, Ann Neeriemer, Bill Griffin, Leo Varone, Mary Rose Rankin, Stephen Penhoet, and Sharif Attia.
