As the prime design consultant, the project leads the revitalization of the Ella Austin Community Center, overseeing architecture, community engagement, and program development to create a modern, functional facility that honors its history and serves future needs.
Ella Austin is a multi-purpose community center that provides early childhood through senior services in the Dignowity Hill neighborhood on San Antonio’s East side. The community center is housed in a historic Middle School owned by the City of San Antonio that dates back to the 1920’s.
A series of community assessments and workshops were conducted to clarify the community needs and propose appropriate programs and master plan concepts for the project.
