Demographic Profiles. 188,463
3 out of 10 children ages 10-17 are either overweight or obese, putting them at increased risk of developing lifelong chronic diseases
Tallahassee, FL currently has 188,463 residents - 44% of those individuals are families with children under 18 years old
The latest combined obesity rate in Florida for children 10-17 years old was 36.6% - ranking Florida the fourth highest of all of the United States for childhood obesity
26.1% of Tallahassee residents are living in poverty (20.9% for White Non-Hispanic residents, 34.6% for Black residents, 48.8% for other race residents)
Obesity prevalence was 18.9% among children and adolescents aged 2-19 years in the lowest income group, 19.9% among those in the middle income group, and 10.9% among those in the highest income group.
Demographic Summar y Efficient community design and health and wellness policies at early stages in childhood development help to provide children with the skills needed to grow up without health issues or diseases that may cause hinderance in the future. As Florida makes its way into the top spot for childhood obesity and poverty levels rise, a call to action must be made and change regarding the resources available to community members must be provided. The youth of America is a generation which we look to lead us in the future, and they deserve facilities which enable them to live healthy and successful childhoods. An addition of a community recreational and learning facility will not only better the Tallahassee community, but battle the statistics that loom over the city.
Design Implications - Appeal to both aging and adolescent populations by providing areas to rest for those with mobility constraints and engaging areas for the younger populations
- Encourage community engagement for all demographics through the addition of community meeting and instructional areas as well as educational facilities -Foster a culture of health and well-being by incorporating recreational game facilities aimed towards inclusivity

Precedent Study. Nub o Early Childhood Play Center Nubo is a childhood play center in Sydney, Australia that focused on cultivating an inclusive and stimulating space to support children in their early years. Play areas include options for all children to have a sense of belonging while fostering imagination. Throughout the space, parents are encouraged to interact with the children. This creates a community play area for all ages. The concept behind the play center is to create a space with minimal furniture and equipmet to promote children to use their imagination and create their own games. This stimulates learning and a social environment as well. Overall, this space is highly sucessful as a childhood recreation and play area that also includes educational spaces to foster learning in creative ways.
L o c a t i o n : Sydney, Australia S i z e : 8.267 sq. ft.
Children are provided options for areas to sit and read, where they feel they are in control of their environment.
Using unique forms, the large indoor playground stimulates imagination and movement in youth.

Precedent Study. E a r l y E d u c a t i o n C e n t e r N e a r t h e H o r s e Fa r m / L & M D e s i g n L a b L&M Design Lab designed an Early Education Center which creates a whimsical childhood dream through use of natural light and curved forms. The space was previously an education center, although all classrooms had no access to light and poor internal space planning which led to wayfinding issues. The new space pays close attention to the needs of the children in the space by incorporating research regarding crouching, crawling, sitting and jumping through use of multi-functional spaces and cubbies. Arc windows at the top of classroom walls allow parents to view their children through the child’s perspective - standing on tiptoe or bending down to view the children activity rooms gives the parents an unconscious perspective on how children often view spaces. Waiting spaces have reflective surfaces, climbing walls, and interactive elements to break the monotony of waiting and encourage play to renew children and parents by celebrating the youth.
Design Implications - Encourage exploration and imagination through use of large windows and playful curves within the interior structure - Appeal to all modes of child play by incorporation of multi-functional spaces such as interactivity and climbing areas - Promote education through a non-traditional educational setting by appealing to childhood imagination and innocence in both physical structures and flexible play areas

Proposed Problem and Solution. The Problem
The Tallahassee community is a vibrant atmosphere with a wide variety of residents, many of whom are either beginning families or currently have children. With a growing youth population, the resources available to them need to broaden to meet their growing needs. Current community centers in the area offer limited resources and recreational activities to youths. Currently, the Tallahassee community lacks indoor recreation that accomodates both children, young teenagers and their caregivers. The community also falls short of providing after school care and learning centers where children have the opportunity to cultivate their learning beyond traditional methods. In addition, both adults and elderly are often neglected from youth center design, which creates a disconnect between youth and caregivers.
Proposed Solution
G r o w.
In efforts to bring the Tallahassee community together, this facility will provide opportunities for employment and volunteering while also providing a space for children to grow and make social connections. Bringing the community together in one space, it will cultivate an appreciation for diversity and grow a culture of inclusivity. In addition, the space will offer opportunities for intergenerational interactions.
Inspire. Pushing the boudnaries of traditional recreation and educational design will inspire people of all ages. Providing play spaces that foster imagination through minimal forms and furniture will allow for children to create their own adventure. By providing community classes such as cooking and fitness classes, people of all ages will be inspired to better their personal health and wellness.
Mo ve. Indoor recreation such as a gymnasium, rockclimbing wall, studio fitness rooms, and indoor/outdoor playground will push the boundaries of typical physical activity. Moving education to advance classroom topics that move beyond the typical classroom, will promote creativity in learning and support various modes of learning for youth.
Site Location Elementary Education Fa c i l i t i e s
With an abundance of elementary education surrounding the site, there is a community need for a recreation and educational facility that will bring the community together as well as provide a place for youth to grow in an inclusive and creative environment. Utilizing this central location for afterschool programs, both students and parents will have a convenient location that fosters relationships.

Concept.
Inspired by Abstract Regionalism, the design will both integrate and celebrate the local Tallahassee community while introducing modern and minmalist design to inspire wellness in a new way. Providing a solution to the lack of modern recreational and educational wellness facilites in Tallahassee, Abstract Regionalism addresses the needs of the local community while abstracting traditional architectural design, to create a space that welcomes youth and their caregivers to grow, move and be inspired to better their personal and community health. Abstracting traditional linear design into curved and playful forms, provokes imagination and creativity in youth while giving the community a refreshing and modern design to spark change. Interior spaces such as a central community room and teaching kitchen will bring generations together to learn healthy habits, while open gym and play spaces will accomodate both youth and caregivers to socially interact and cultivate an active community. Educational spaces will supplement traditional classroom learning while abstracting formal modes of work to support intellectual growth. Tallahassee is a historic city with a need for a fresh space to connect the community and promote modern health and wellness.

Palette. Summary The mixture of neutrals and light pastel colors with the contrast pop of yellow creates both an energizing and welcoming space. Using a lighter palette allows for emphasis on form and line within the space. Color will be used throughout with application on various wayfinding and signage. This will ease users journey through the space and unify branding. Overall, the palette is resfreshing and will aide in the goal of promoting health and wellness for the community of Tallahassee.
Justif ication
Pastel colors promote ease and lift a space to add refreshing qualities. According to Brittney Smart on the topic of design with pastel colors, “there’s an airy sense of cheer without the exhaustion”. This allows for an energizing space that doesn’t overstimulate users. An addition of a bright color catches attention, and the use of yellow is mood boosting without being alarming. This can be used for signage and wayfinding.
