Holly Park Community Center
Holly Park Community Center
The Holly Park Community Center is part of affordable housing development in Commerce City, Colorado. Holly Park was originally constructed as market-rate apartments in the 1970s. When Mercy Housing took it over, it faced problems typical of this type of conversion, a lack of facilities needed for affordable housing. Mercy offers programs to their residents, including job training and after school care, and these needs were being handled out of a converted apartment. The offices were undersized to handle the increased tenant interaction with staff and the need for clothing and food banks. Additionally, the on-site maintenance was being housed in a variety of sheds. EVstudio thoughtfully crafted an all-new building nestled within the campus which now houses their offices, large food and clothing banks, a room that accommodates community functions and after school care, a computer lab, maintenance operations, and an office for a police liaison officer.
