Step into the future of community engagement with the Sully Community Center project, situated in the heart of Herndon, VA.  This cutting-edge facility spans 33,000 square feet across 5 acres, serving as a dynamic hub for over half a dozen local organizations under one roof.  From childcare to seniors, therapeutic recreation to community food services, and medical groups, the center seamlessly integrates diverse services to meet the needs of residents across the spectrum. The design ethos of the Sully Community Center embodies modernity and inclusivity, characterized by an open concept layout flooded with natural light.  Large windows, equipped with bird glass, not only maximize sunlight but also offer versatile workspaces and bench features, optimizing space utilization.  Each area within the center is meticulously crafted with distinctive finishes tailored to the specific needs and preferences of end-users, fostering a sense of ownership and identity.

As you navigate through the building, a rich tapestry of wall finishes awaits, ranging from stainless steel and wood to stone veneers and glass tiles.  Flooring solutions are equally varied, catering to diverse activities and functions, from hardwood and carpets to LVT and cork.  Ceiling designs, including wooden slats, clouds, and exposed ceilings, add architectural interest and enhance the overall aesthetic appeal. Environmental sustainability lies at the core of the center’s design, with LEED Silver certification emblematic of its commitment to eco-conscious practices.  Solar panels, electric car charging stations, LED lighting, and a community garden underscore its dedication to reducing carbon footprint and fostering a greener future. The multifunctional nature of the Sully Community Center is reflected in its diverse array of spaces including multipurpose rooms for youth and seniors, an arts-and-crafts room, a game room, an exercise room, a dance studio, basketball courts, pickleball courts, a sensory room, offices, full kitchen, pantry outdoor garden, and a leased community healthcare facility.  This versatility ensures that the center remains a vibrant hub of activity throughout the day, catering to the evolving needs of the community.

The successful delivery of the Sully Community Center is a testament to the collaborative efforts, innovation, and unwavering commitment to quality control exhibited by Henley and the design teams.
