West Cambridge Youth and Community Center

The Mayor Sheila Doyle Russell Youth and Community Center provides athletic and educational spaces for teen and pre-teen after-school programs as well as a dedicated space for veterans. The building acts as a gateway to Cambridge, yet maintains the scale of the residential buildings along Huron Avenue. The 30,000 sf LEED Silver facility is a sculptural expression that uses sustainable materials and forms to express the playful nature of the building program. The youth center has a dance studio, gym, teaching kitchen, and classrooms.
