Maplewood Community Center
Maplewood, MN

Located on an 11-acre site adjacent to the Maplewood City Hall and other public buildings, the Maplewood Community Center is an integral part of a municipal campus, complete with wetland reserve and direct connection to the regional hiking trail system. AKA worked with numerous user groups and a construction manager to bring the project "wish list" in-line with its budget; the Maplewood Community Center was completed on time and within the allocated budget.

Now celebrating over 10 years of success, the Maplewood Community Center continues to be a magnet for community activities. From scuba lessons to weddings to symphony concerts, this multi-purpose community center is a great example of AKA’s commitment to understanding our client’s immediate and future needs--creating a facility for long-term results.

The building includes a community theater with seating for 300, meeting rooms, and banquet rooms. Ftness features include: an aquatic center of leisure and lap pools, a gymnasium with running track, and fitness area. Not surprisingly, Maplewood residents have voted the Center the “Best Fitness Center” for three years running.
