Tasked by the City of Covina to replace a well-loved but well used senior center, GGA began by identifying and analyzing City sites for a new facility, ultimately deciding on siting the center at Kelby Park. Teamed with Design-Build Partners Pankow Builders, our team worked with the City to develop an effective yet efficient plan which would satisfy the needs of the user-group and the modest budget supplied by a combination of Federal, County, and local dollars.
The end result is a facility which supports and celebrates the popular programs including health and wellness, lunch, and social programs. The project also included multi-generational recreation facilities previously housed in outlying structures.
The overall plan for the entire park enhances its access to the community at large with a further emphasis on wellness and civic gathering. The end design opens up to and encourages further connection to the surrounding park and it’s other civic uses, further enriching the neighborhood community fabric.
