SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The Good Hope Neighborhood Recreation Center is a new community recreational facility located within Good Hope Regional Park in Silver Spring, MD. Replacing the previous facility, the new Center serves the local community with a wide range of activities including recreational sports, children’s play, athletics, and enrichment classes for youth and adults. In partnership with the Strathmore Center, the facility also accommodates and serves as a performing arts venue. The design of the 13,000 GSF state of the art facility, implements a sustainable site plan with the building on the site’s most prominent corner.
The form of the building along Good Hope Road strengthens community connections and dramatically improves equal access to the Center’s amenities. As an ambassador of sensitive, sustainable design, the project celebrates the unique environmental habitat of the Upper Paint Branch Special Protection Area of Montgomery County.
