Steamburg Community Center

This project consisted of renovations and additions to an existing facility that was built in the 1960’s. The existing facility was approximately 12,000 square feet and the additions were approximately 6,800 square feet. The program included; a day care, gymnasium, fitness room, lockers rooms which included a steam room and a sauna, multi-purpose room, offices, reception lobby, a kitchen, support spaces and a traditional ‘ceremonial cook house’.

Sustainable “Green design” strategies include natural day-lighting techniques with integrated dimming systems, thermal envelope considerations, utilization of responsible materials, and the incorporation of high-performance glazing.

The design also incorporates many Seneca Nation cultural representations.
