DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE Tallahassee is the capital of Florida and is home to a diverse population of all ages. Tallahassee has a population of 186,977 and is the 130th largest city in the United States. However, this number does not include the extensive number of college students in Tallahassee. Including these students, the population is approximately 251,340. The population density is 1,875 per square miles which is 539% higher than the Florida average and 1970% higher than the national average. The median age in Tallahassee is 27 which is approximately 36% lower than the Florida average of 42. (Areavibes, 2018)
10.4% 5% 18.8%
44.2%
21.7%
The census data tells us that: • 44.2% of the population is between 25 - 64 years old • 21.7% of the population is 20-24 years old • 18.8% of the population is between 5 - 19 years old • 10.4% of the population is 65 years old and above • 5% of the population is under 5 years old
Design Implications • Provide a design solution that caters to all ages in order to establish an intergenerational space for the community • Integrate efficient wayfinding practices to create a welcoming and easily accessible space for users to navigate
According to the article, the city of Tallahassee has the fastest growing economy per capita in the state of Florida. The image above depicts the average amount of income in each area of the city, ranging from greatest income increase (blue) to the greatest income decrease (pink). The many proposed or under-construction developments are responsible for the increase of jobs and wages (Waters, T.M.). Although Tallahassee’s economy has been consistently progressing in the last few years, income segregation, which is the separation of people in an area based on their income, remains an issue. Furthermore, a recent study revealed that approximately one-fourth of the city’s population lives in poverty (Tallahassee, Fl). Interestingly, Tallahassee also has the most college grads per capita. Officials have been working hard to come up with solutions, such as, focusing on affordable housing options other than student housing. These current issues could be brought to the city’s attention with upcoming developments, such as the big box building. This awareness will allow for Tallahassee to build a stronger and healthier community. References: Areavibes.

building location
The project site is in an abandoned big box building located on the East side of Tallahassee on Apalachee Pkwy, a main street. The surrounding area consists of high traffic throughout the day with nearby streets including Old St. Augustine Rd and S Blairstone Rd. A large parking lot is provided adjacent to the building which decreases walkability from one’s vehicle to the entrance of the building. Tallahassee is the capital of the Florida and the largest city in the state’s Panhandle region and home to many different schools and universities, including Florida State University and FAMU. Downtown Tallahassee is known for it’s beautiful parks, boutique hotels, unique and exciting dining, museums, arts, music and natural resources (Downtown Tallahassee). The subtropical climate of Tallahassee is primarily warm and humid with significant rainfall throughout the year. The average temperature during the summer time is approximately 92° F and the average temperature during the winter can drop down as low as approximately 32° F.
Design Implications • Use materials which can withstand weathering due to climate changes and precipitation in the Tallahassee area

PRECEDENT STUDY Creekside Community Recreation Centre Location: Vancouver, Canada Firm: Francl Architecture Type: Community Center Status: Built Year: 2010 Size: 25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
SUMMARY This project was designed in collaboration with Nick Milkovich Architects and targeted to achieve LEED Platinum standards. Creekside Community Recreation Centre holds a full-size gymnasium, multi-purpose rooms throughout, multiple fitness facilities, a day care and a café. The community center has also been awarded a prestigious LEED Platinum certification, for environmentally friendly features that include radiant heating throughout, hot water solar collectors, an extensive green roof, rainwater harvesting, and reduced architectural finishes. The building was designed to ensure abundant daylight and natural ventilation to every occupied space.
DESIGN IMPLICATIONS • Implement environmentally friendly features wherever possible to promote sustainability • Provide a variety of activity options to accommodate a broad age group • Maintain a strong level of natural light by providing large windows throughout the exterior walls of the space CITATION Creekside Community Recreation Centre. (n.d.). Retrieved from https:// architizer.com/projects/creekside-community-recreation-centre/.

PRECEDENT STUDY Zhelin Administration and Community Service Center
This image depicts the process of the retrofit and how the central void serves as a technical interface between humans and nature for lighting and ventilation reasons, as well as an active vertical garden.
Location: Fengxian, China Firm: One Design Type: Offices Status: Built Year: 2018 Size: 126,206 sqft
SUMMARY Zhelin Administration and Community Service Center Building was designed by the architecture firm, One Design, and is located in the city of Fengxian, China. The building was initially built as a retail site with deep building depth and an ornate facade. One Design began by retrofitting the building in order to maximize natural ventilation and lighting. Therefore, a large portion of the center of the building was taken out and added to the southeast corner (Gallery of Zhelin). This void is not only used to help with ventilation throughout the space, it also houses a garden that is accentuated by two curved staircases. On the north and west side of the building, “Two distinctive materials, glass-fiber reinforced concrete panel and composite wood panel were utilized to help forming a logically clear composition of volumes with hierarchies of transparency and solidness” (Gallery of Zhelin, 2019). DESIGN IMPLICATIONS • Provide interactive spaces, such as event and collaboration areas, to create a sense of community. • Integrating biophilia design within the space with natural elements and local materials will illustrate the importance of the connection between nature and overall well-being of humans. • Consider lighting and ventilation throughout the design process, for both functional and aesthetic purposes. CITATION Gallery of Zhelin Administration and Community Service Center / One Design - 2. (n.d.). Retrieved from https://www.archdaily.com/911851/zhelin-administration-andcommunity-service-center-one-design/5c6d2043284dd15129000531-zhelinadministration-and-community-service-center-one-design-photo
“Together with the balconies and flyover connecting corridors, a rich vocabulary of facade language was created to make this rather solid and cubical building more permeable, more as a group of varied elements collected than a monolith carved-out” (Zhelin, 2019).
The design and placement of the curved outdoor staircases are not only aesthetically pleasing but provide the users with an enjoyable and tangible experience of the space.

PROBLEM The vast majority of the Tallahassee demographic is comprised of college students, so therefore many businesses cater to this group within the community. According to Tallahassee’s government website, there are a few different centers that offer services to specific age groups, such as the Palmer Monroe Teen Center and the Tallahassee Senior Center (“The City of Tallahassee”). To conclude, the area surrounding the project site is lacking in a multi-purpose facility consisting of intergenerational spaces for the entire population including growing families, working professionals, as well as elderly citizens. The objective of this design is to re-purpose the former 42,682 USF Toys-R-Us building that was vacated in 2017 as a result of the company’s bankruptcy. This closure resulted in job losses for many citizens of Tallahassee. As is the case with most remodels, both the building and site present challenges, including zoning restrictions and Florida Building Code requirements. The design must retain 80% of the existing perimeter walls, however, in order to retain structural integrity, all of the building’s joists and columns must stay in place. Along with these challenges comes the opportunity to establish a concept that will address universal design principles within a multi-use, intergenerational facility.

SOLUTION The prospective design solution for this store remodel is to establish a mixed use community center that focuses on social and physical rejuvenation for the city of Tallahassee. This space will accommodate the needs of all age groups with diverse backgrounds by radiating a sense of belonging while supporting their independence as individuals. By designing this community center, opportunities for jobs, volunteering, and other leadership positions will arise. Overall, Montage Tallahassee will provide a sense of encouragement for the community and improve the quality of life for all.
COLOR PALETTE & JUSTIFICATION The color palette will promote an uplifting atmosphere through vibrant colors throughout the space. Splashes of bright hues will be used to spark visual interest and to establish wayfinding. Shades of grey, black, and white will also be used to help neutral out the radiant colors to prevent them from being overwhelming. Cool hues will be used in the more relaxing spaces in order to establish a calming atmosphere that alleviates stress. Overall, the radiant color palette will demonstrate the concept of synergy throughout the design.
8
CONCEPT STATEMENT Given the needs of the Tallahassee community to unite, the concept of this design is SYNERGY. Synergy is a mutually advantageous conjunction or compatibility of distinct elements. With this in mind, this design will provide interactive spaces such as fitness and work collaboration areas to create a sense of community for people of various backgrounds in different stages of their lives. A combination of organic materials, various architectural forms, and vibrant colors will encompass this design. The use of natural light throughout the space will both define and enhance the user’s experience by encouraging more productivity, happiness, healthy habits and calmer spirits. Efficient way finding through signage and open circulation will support the people of the community’s independence as individuals. Overall, this design will embody the concept of synergy from the diverse design elements to the versatile essence of this community space.
