SOU THERN A RE A AQUAT ICS A ND RECRE AT ION COMPL E X Brandywine, MD Size: 79,052 Sf The Southern Area Aquatics and Recreation Complex (SAARC) is a new, design-build, multigenerational facility. Its forested site, now surrounded by suburban developments, was farmland until the early 1900s. A prominent 175-year willow oak tree dominates the site, with the facility sited approximately 150 yards from this specimen tree.

The facility’s layout is designed to frame views of the surrounding forest and especially the willow oak tree.

SAARC creates a vibrant place for physical and social activity, enhancing the community experience for all members. The atrium serves as the main circulation artery as well as the space for community gatherings, bisecting the community side of the facility containing the administration, group fitness, warming kitchen to accommodate outside caterers, and multi-use and program spaces, as well as the recreational spaces such as the natatorium, gymnasium, and fitness areas.

In addition to the atrium, a secondary element used to enhance the user experience is the indoor running track located on the mezzanine level. This feature promotes a direct connection with essentially every aspect of the facility including the outdoor environment, gymnasium, natatorium, fitness, and community atrium.

CONGRESS HEIGHTS RECRE AT ION CEN T ER Washington, DC Size: 25,820 Sf The Congress Heights Recreation Center is an oasis within Southwest Washington, DC. The site is bordered by an old-growth forest with plentiful wide open green space, a true rarity in this urban environment. The design for the Center and surrounding site embraces this unique environment. Visitors engage the site in a multitude of ways including walking along the nature trails, visiting the overlooks, playing on the two playgrounds, practicing on the artificial turf practice field, or splashing in the splash and spray park. The site has a variety of amenities for all age groups. The Center also engages the surrounding site with full-height windows that bring the forest into the building and green roofs that protect the environment.

The project includes varied amenities for the community such as a full gymnasium, multipurpose rooms, a fitness center, a teen lounge, and a senior center, as well as unique amenities such as a community incubator kitchen to assist in local business development, a community store to address the ‘food desert’ and lack of grocery stores in the community, and the first e-Sports suite for DC/DPR that includes e-Sports gaming and sports simulators. Our team worked closely with DC DGS, DC DPR, and the local community to develop a recreation center that is uniquely Congress Heights and will serve the surrounding community for decades to come.

M A R V I N G AY E PA R K A N D R E C R E AT I O N C E N T E R (FEASIBILIT Y STUDY AND CONCEPT DESIGN) Washington, District of Columbia 15,000 Sf The Marvin Gaye Recreation Center will be a 15,000 square feet community center in the heart of the Grant Park neighborhood. Due to the limited site and constraints, the new recreation center will be a two-level building spanning across an existing creek and function as a bridge to access playfields at the south side of the park. One of the feature elements of the sustainable design are two gently curving brise-soleil (permanent shading devices) on the western and eastern exposures of the building. The gentle curves of the brise-soleil will create a playful shade and shadow displays to the building throughout the year. The intent for the natural light display is to reinforce a link with the magical music of Marvin Gaye. Sustainable features will be incorporated in the design for a LEED Gold certification.

Little prepared the feasibility study and concept design as part of an active and collaborative community engagement process. This process resulted in a design that reflects both the fabric of the local neighborhood and energy of the community center’s namesake.
