Located in historic Scholze Park, the Monterey Community Center is an ideal site and facility for serving senior citizens and the disabled. It is immediately adjacent to major streets and public transportation, but the park setting is screened and quiet. The importance of capturing this idyllic setting was emphasized by JHW Architects when they were retained by the City of Monterey to remodel and expand the Senior Center. A remodel of the existing building added an additional meeting room, storage space, restrooms that meet ADA standards, a central kitchen and new Director's office. Included in the remodel was the existing Alliance on Aging services facility, bringing the new facility to 9,437 S.F.
