The concept of the community center is over a century old, yet it constantly evolves and adapts to the needs of each community it serves. Whether they focus on sports and recreation or activities for senior citizens, these projects often function as neighborhood hubs where people from a diverse range of ages and background come together and interact.
We see these projects as impactful to the community and look for opportunities to engage people in focus group or community meetings as a regular part of our design process. These projects are most successful when they are the result of careful research and assessment of a communities needs and wants. MWS is experienced at leading design discussions and extracting the relevant data to produce designs that accurately address the residents’ needs.

When designing the new Engine 10 Ladder 11 fire station in South Philadelphia, MW Studios was integral in working with LAYER Architecture to create a strong and trusting relationship between the client, the design team, and the Philadelphia Fire Department. Rob Manns and his team are adept at speaking the language of first responders and can easily translate their needs into reasonable solutions. Unlike other technicians, MW Studios is a design-oriented architecture firm. Working with our design team, they enjoy resolving the technical needs of the city and the fire department while transforming a garage for emergency apparatuses to a home away from home, a community center, and a first rate building that anticipates the inevitable challenges that confront an evolving service to the community.”
