Concord City Council Approves Senior Project

CONCORD, CA-The 15,000-sf building will include four multipurpose classrooms, two consultation areas, an exercise room, a lobby and lounge area and various office space and storage areas.

CONCORD, CA-The Concord City Council this week unanimously approved a new $5.5-million senior center for their town that will be built on part of an existing community park, near an older, smaller facility. To be designed and built by South San Francisco firm Group 4 Architecture Research, the 15,000-sf building will include a 300-person dining hall, four multipurpose classrooms, two consultation areas, an exercise room, a lobby and lounge area and various office space and storage areas.

The building comes as a relief to seniors feeling cramped in an existing facility, but to nearby residents and other users of the community park, it comes as an affront to their green space. The rub is the center would result in the paving over of a large part of the existing park south of Parkside Circle, and a 132-space parking lot would replace the grassy areas and picnic tables that currently sit to the north of Bonifacio Street.
