The Town of Blacksburg has engaged architectural consulting firm Kahler Slater to revisit and update the programming outlined in the 2013 Indoor Needs Assessment and Feasibility Study and the 2024 Downtown, Parks and Recreation Priorities survey.This effort aims to align this feedback with current recreational trends and community needs, which will help in determining the appropriate size and scope of a proposed new community center facility. This new facility will exist in addition to the current Community Center, located at 725 Patrick Henry Drive. The current Community Center will continue to be utilized as a programming space for a variety of recreational and community programs.
Kahler Slater will evaluate and recommend a preferred site for the new facility, either within the existing Municipal Park or at the former Blacksburg High School site, both located on Patrick Henry Drive. Additionally, they will assess existing amenities at both sites and offer suggestions for replacements or new features to enhance the town's recreational offerings. They will also provide recommendations for modernizing the current Community Center to better serve residents and improve functionality.
A comprehensive project cost estimate will be developed to support future planning and decision-making.
Public Engagement Meeting: Community input is a key part of this process. An open public engagement meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 28 from 5 - 7pm at the Blacksburg Community Center to gather community feedback and information.
Online Survey: In addition to this in-person meeting, an online survey is now available to gather ideas from residents to help guide the direction of the project. This survey will be available in-person at the public engagement meeting, and will be accessible online until Monday, May 27. To access the survey, visit the bottom of the project page and click the "Take Survey" button.
