Norton Senior & Community Support Center
After completing site selection and feasibility studies, DBVW was hired to provide full architectural services for a new one-story facility to house the Norton Senior and Community Support Center. Designed in the New England vernacular, the 12,000 sf facility features a large multi-purpose room with a commercial kitchen, a front porch and café, as well as rooms for wellness, activities, and arts and crafts. The multi-purpose room includes a terrace overlooking a clearing with a wooded area beyond where a nature trail will lead to the lovely Norton Reservoir. The project is presently under construction.
