The Architectural Team worked closely with the Salvation Army and the community to configure the program components appropriately on the site as part of the master planning services for the project. The 90,000 sf Center, located on a large 6 acre urban site, provides five major program zones: culinary arts; education and learning; performing arts; fitness and aquatics. Each of the program zones includes spaces and activities designed for children under 3 to neighborhood teens to senior citizens. Specific spaces include a 300 seat dining hall and fully integrated teaching kitchen; a gymnasium sized for an NCAA regulation basketball court, ropes course and climbing wall space; a large recreation style swimming pool with current channel, lap lanes, zero depth entry play area, an indoor/outdoor slide, and access to the outdoor spray-ground; a full cardio and weight fitness equipment area, computer lab, teen lounge, library, classrooms/art rooms, senior lounge, and a 300 seat chapel/theater with a fully equipped sound and audio recording studio suite. The Kroc Center is the largest, private, non-profit social services investment in New England and the largest community center in Massachusetts.
