And the #PeoplesChoiceAward goes to Studio Architecture, P.C. for the Elk City Activity Center. #archweek24 #CelebrateArchitecture The Elk City Activity Center is the first project completed through the Community Action Projects Plan (C.A.P.P.) – a citywide capital improvements plan aimed at diversifying the city’s economy, drawing tourists, and enhancing the quality of life for its citizens. The building’s design is influenced by the simple forms, materials, colors, textures, and sites found along historic Route 66 as it stretches across the Oklahoma landscape. From the rugged agrarian structures of America’s Heartland to whimsical roadside attractions, the building takes on characteristics that are uniquely Oklahoman. The Activity Center is simple in form and structure, but its aesthetics are modern and forward-looking, with pops of bright colors inside and out. The building speaks to its park-like setting by connecting to the adjacent trail system and providing a rear covered patio with a grove of trees that create a transition zone between the natural and built environment. The facility provides many opportunities for recreation, fitness, team sports, and socializing for all members of the community. There are multiple indoor courts, an indoor playground, café, walking track, senior lounge, multipurpose rooms for community events, and offices for two local community organizations.
