Gwynne Pugh Urban Studio Selected to Revitalize Downtown Inglewood with New Senior Center
Inglewood, CA (PRWEB) July 18, 2013 -- The City of Inglewood has selected Gwynne Pugh Urban Studio (GP-US) for architectural, engineering and construction management services for their new Senior Center. With GP-US as lead, the other team members are CivilSource Construction Managers and Engineers, Outreach Coordinators GDML, Ahbe Landscape Architects, Structural Engineers John A. Martin and Associates, and E2DI Consulting Engineers.
GP-US will create design guidelines and illustrative concept drawings as the basis for future Design/Build Proposals. Pugh says, “The Inglewood Senior Center has been in the works for a number of years and is finally on its way to realization. It is a critical element for the revitalization of downtown Inglewood.”
“The Center is much needed by the senior community and will provide lunches, exercise facilities, counseling, social gathering spaces and will be a place of respite and joy,” says Pugh. The original center was demolished ten years ago due to building safety issues. Senior services in Inglewood are currently provided out of five different locations.
Gwynne Pugh Urban Studio has a successful and long standing relationship with the City of Inglewood and numerous public agencies throughout Southern California. He is currently a consultant to the City of Inglewood for the design and negotiation of betterments for two transit stations along the Crenshaw Line. One of these stations is in close proximity to the Senior Center site. GP-US has brough a wide breadth of architectural and urban design experience to Inglewood and will again do so with the Senior Center project.
GP-US is nationally known for innovative and sustainable design, and has a proven track record for creating energetic and lively environments.
The Urban Studio Design Team is a high caliber team of firm principals who will take a hands-on approach to working on the vision and facilitate the design and complete development of the Inglewood Senior Center by the future Design/Build entity. The Urban Studio team has unique skills in both small and large-scale civic interventions that have resulted in thriving community centers.
