King Street Center Unveils New Building

New King Street Center design by TruexCullins

Our neighbor King Street Center is growing and expanding their space. TruexCullins Architecture is proud to be a part of the effort. The King Street Center has been an essential hub in our neighborhood for more than 20 years, serving the young and their families with the process of learning and growing. Twenty years ago Roland Batten Architect helped create the original King Street Center and now Rolf Kielman (a former partner of Roland’s), a principal at TruexcCullins, is continuing that work with the re-design of the new and expanded Center.

The new King Street Center will be a 4.5 million dollar project and will significantly expand the space needs of the center. A new entry, a new two and half story west wing and a renovated gymnasium are features of the project. A roof top playground will address the small amount of play space that exists now on the King Street Center site. The building will address environmental needs and be a model for energy efficiency exemplified by the use of day lighting and high quality mechanical and lighting systems.

 

Design is currently underway and construction is expected to start in early 2014 with completion in the late fall of 2014.  To make a donation please contact the King Street Center.

 

Many joined in to celebrate the unveiling of plans for the new King Street Center.

Sparky Millikin's Retirement Party and Fundraiser

Thank you to everyone who played a part in the party Thursday night and our campaign to raise awareness and money for the Nepal Project.  I had a wonderful time and the evening was a success.  We raised just over $4,000 at the party and just over $17,000 since the inception of the campaign.  And to top it off the Heritage Automotive Group (Ford, Toyota, Scion on Shelburne Road, S. Burlington) offered to make up the difference between the $17,000 and our goal of $20,000.  So we made our ambitious goal!

This is life changing for the girls, women, and the villages of rural Nepal.

Thanks to each and every one of you and God bless.

Cheers!
