The Dennis & Janice Caprara Community Center in Gonzales, CA, is set to be a vibrant hub for the community, offering a range of spaces designed to foster learning, recreation, and connection. The wood-framed complex will feature a public library, a spacious community hall, a fitness center, a commercial kitchen, and a dynamic teen innovation lab and lounge. The center will be split into two “C”-shaped buildings—Building A (10,000 SF) and Building B (8,900 SF)—which together will frame a central courtyard. This inviting outdoor space will include an amphitheater, a play and discovery area, comfortable seating, and outdoor classrooms. With large, glazed corners that seamlessly connect the buildings to the neighborhood, the single-story structures will reflect a modern yet community-focused design, creating a welcoming environment for all who visit.
