Naples Jewish Community Center
Naples, Florida 
Status: Complete
The Jewish Community Center in Naples, Florida responds to site water issues and integrates natural resources into the experience of the building by means of a series of canals and a lake at the front of the site accommodating storm water retention and creating a formal entry sequence of passing across water to arrive at the building. The 80,000 square foot facility includes an aquatic center, exercise and fitness center and a gym. The cultural program includes a black box theatre, an early education component for young children, multi-purpose rooms to facilitate community education programs and a café/deli. In addition, separate pavilions, one for the lake and one in the existing orange grove, provide locations for day camps, outdoor activities and even formal gatherings.
