The Shadow Mountain Senior Center includes multi-purpose space for socializing, continuing education, recreation, and wellness. Educational offerings include computer applications and web use, painting, fitness, and art. The art room is conveniently located adjacent to an outdoor patio that serves as an extension of the studio. Daylight floods the primary spaces via light scoops that serve as sculptural elements and give the Center a powerful street presence. The building is an artful balance of masses, juxtaposed and overlapping to create a visual composition that is both dramatic and functional.
