Doolittle Community
Center Renovation & Addition
Architect(s): Welles Pugsley Architects
Address: 1950 N. J St.
Year: 2002
The Doolittle Community Center, located in a tough neighborhood plagued by
crime, received a much-needed facelift and addition. The 52,800 square-foot
facility now boasts an unusual façade on its J Street entrance; a
curved, metal clad wall runs almost the entire length of complex. There are
two crescent cutouts in the metal wall that allow entrance into the building
and the courtyard features a new pool. The wall also links the community
center to the existing senior center. The new facility is intended to be
both welcoming and supportive of the community in which it resides.
