anthony munoz community center
Anchoring the southern edge of the Anthony Munoz Park in Ontario, the 13,000 SF single story community center includes a 2,500 SF multi-purpose room, teaching kitchen, two activity/classrooms, Tot Room with outdoor play area, administrative office space and a 25-yard recreation pool with an enclosed outdoor patio area. A series of steel and wood shade structures mimicking the ridge-line of the distant mountains provide a shaded seating and lounging area along the southern edge of the pool patio. The building is organized along an east-west sky-lit gallery connecting the pool area on the east with an open courtyard to the west. Located on the north side of the gallery, the multipurpose room opens to a large outdoor patio with immediate views of the park playing fields and distant views to the San Bernardino Mountains. The entry canopy to the building is punctuated by a series of “acrylic-disc-umbrellas” acting as indirect light sources at night and skylights during the day.
