Intergenerational Recreation Facility

Borrelli + Partners was commissioned by Indian River County for the design and construction administration of their new $9.4 million, 37,600 square foot Intergenerational Recreation Facility.

Intergenerational programs are social vehicles that bring people together from different generations in mutually beneficial planned activities. The building is designed to accommodate a variety of program goals. Through intergenerational programs, people of all ages share their knowledge, talents and resources, supporting each other in relationships that benefit both the individuals and the overall community.

The project was designed as a two-phase facility with two major programmed areas; the main intergenerational multi-activity, operations and multipurpose functions consisting of 7,450 square feet and a 15,814 square foot Multi-Activity Courts gym (MAC Gym) and spectator seating intended for recreational, sport and competition utilization, as well as large auditorium based special events and programs. Between the two building forms lays a public courtyard for social and contemplative gatherings. The first phase included the intergenerational multipurpose program spaces and a two-court MAC Gym. The second phase included a second two-court MAC Gym with supporting fitness center, additional office spaces, a locker/shower facility and utility spaces.
