Summary of Project Objectives Executive Summary 1

Summary of Project Objectives Executive Summary This document defines the project scope for the new Inner City Sub Center. The project site is bounded by Iroquois Street to the west; East Forest Avenue to the South; and Pinegrove City Park to the north and east. The Inner City Sub Center has been a fixture in the city of the Detroit since it’s founding in 1969. The Center provides community programs including, but not limited to: youth entrepreneurship, after school and latchkey, athletic teams, a food co-op, and emergency and food clothing distribution. The Inner City Sub Center has outgrown its existing home – a two-and-a- half story school building (formerly Hilger School) - and has insufficient space to house their increasing staff, many programs and the community they serve. The Center currently has a staff of 12 with office space for four; youth programs service nearly 300 children at once; 50 senior citizens participate weekly; and there are several young adults active in educational programs. The space would require extensive structural, mechanical and logistical upgrades in order to operate efficiently. A new building on the existing site (adjacent to the current structure) is proposed with the following features: Administrative and Program Offices Class Rooms Professional Kitchen Banquet Room Food Co-op Community Outreach Center Library and Computer Center Auditorium Gymnasium and Fitness Center Recording and Video Production Studio Silk Screening Area Gift Shop The existing 17,000 square foot building and one-story annex, which housed classrooms, will be demolished once the new structure is complete. A new Center can provide the neighborhood and the entire city of Detroit with a structure that builds upon the many existing programs and services that the Inner City Sub Center provides and a new and exciting venue for community events and gatherings. 1.1
