Our New Home
There are lots of reasons you might love this building
It will strengthen our community. The new Center will enhance our ability to help toddlers through teens succeed in school and life, and it provides new places to bring people of all ages together for informal gatherings and ongoing programs. We’re encouraging health and fitness with a gym, fitness center and green space; and we’re adding a café run by teens in culinary arts training, art rooms, a grocery-store-style food pantry, game rooms, green space and much, much more.
It will be simply beautiful. It won’t be fancy, but no doubt, it will lift your spirit when you walk in the door. We’re picking out materials for durability and lasting appeal and with almost 300 windows, the light alone will brighten your days.
It will have room(s!) for you. Imagine 15,000 feet of community rooms — from small to large — and start thinking of what meetings or events you could host at the Center!
It will be green. We’re choosing sustainable and recycled building materials and furnishings throughout the building. It turns out that it’s good for our environment and our budget, and we love the fact that we will help children learn about being good stewards of our natural resources.
It will be ours. Together. Whether you meet a friend at our new café, take a yoga or dance class, try out our fitness equipment, enroll a child in a program, or rent a community room for a meeting or party, we hope you make yourself at home when we open our doors in mid-2008.

| The new Goodman Community Center campus is located in the heart of the Center’s service area. You’ll find the 2-acre site at 149 Waubesa Street between Atwood Avenue and Milwaukee Street, nestled between Wirth Park and the Capital City Bike path. | An early schematic site and building plan includes plenty of space for toddlers through older adults who participate in regular Center programs, a variety of rooms for the community to rent, a teen-run café, and green space! There have been some changes to the building floor plans, but the campus plan is essentially the same. | |
