The project involves a reconfiguration of the arts center’s performance, exhibition and classroom spaces. The multi-use performance space has been enlarged to accommodate multiple seating and production arrangements. Flexible theatrical lighting now serves the multiple stage locations. The exhibition gallery has been relocated to a more prominent area of the building that affords more immediate access from the main entry. Larger classroom spaces are provided and located where there is an abundance of natural light.
A prominent entrance vestibule and canopy have been added on the main street façade to create a more striking downtown presence.
An addition provides much needed gallery and performance storage. An expanded kitchen facility serves both indoor and outdoor events. A covered platform shades performers during outdoor events in a newly landscaped courtyard.

Jackson’s Boys and Girls Club, Recreation Department and Senior Center are housed in this new neighborhood facility.

The bandshell design was inspired by the various historical elements throughout the town, such as the classic stone buildings and the steel train bridge.

A former retail space was purchased and GROTH Design Group was asked to partner once again with the Senior Activity Center to transform a vacant building into a vital community asset. The new center, Uptown Social, serves as a main activity hub for the community.
