Genoveva Chavez Community Center Entry
3221, Rodeo Road, Santa Fe, NM, United States
The Genoveva Chavez
Community Center (GCCC) is one of the largest and comprehensive community
recreation centers in the U.S. Since its
completion in 2000, the GCCC has been a focal point for the community and has
become a recognizable symbol of the city of Santa Fe. The project program included the design of a
new Main Entry vestibule for the center that will increase the energy
performance for the center and provide a recognizable entry feature for this
iconic building. A secondary entry to
the facility’s therapy pool and site work were also included in the project
scope.
The new Main Entry
vestibule provides much needed visibility for the entry to the GCCC. The
up-lifting design contains a passively tempered waiting and overflow area,
wrapped in an angled perforated metal skin. The skin’s
design is informed by environmental control strategies and programmatic
needs of the new entry. A curtain wall
under an existing roof provides the transparency desired in an entry to a major
public building and angled fins provide solar control needed to reduce
glare. The vestibule is also designed as
an airlock to prevent heat loss through wind infiltration. The Main Entry skin also integrates building signage,
reinforcing an identity for the building.
