Denver Westwood Recreation Center

The Project

Essenza Architecture is working with architect of record AMD as the key recreational specialist, leading the interior design of the gymnasium, community room, aquatics, fitness, and group X spaces. The interior of the recreation center will be complemented by the programmed site design, allowing lots of opportunities for community gatherings and events. 

Essenza is leading the aquatic and recreation design portion, including space calculations, program adjacency planning and overall design of the pool, and leading the interior exercise space layout. The Essenza team will take the lead on selecting the interior finishes as well as the furniture package.

The facility will emphasize rhythm as movement to tell the story of the unique Westwood neighborhood. The community is looking forward to having the new asset and cannot wait to swim, dance, and lift when the facility opens. In 2020, plans for the center progressed after bond funding was approved by voters.
