Last Friday was a special day for the City of Searcy and we were honored to join this community at a topping-off ceremony for the Searcy Community Center. On a hot June afternoon, a group of community members, consultants and contractors stood in the space will soon be an amphitheater connected to the community center, which is one of many unique designs from Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects. Led by CDI Contractors and Hart Construction, the community center has progressed to the point of having the highest beam set, which signals a major milestone in construction. The steel beam was signed by those in attendance and was hoisted up to its spot at the top of the structure.
This building and its surrounding landscape will be a gem for the entire region once completed. The facility will include a bikeable entrance that will easily connect to the Little Red Greenway, which is currently in design, a teen room complete with video games, capacity for events of various sizes, a makers’ space, courtyard, indoor playground, fully equipped basketball courts, and more. Prism Design Studio provided landscape architecture that will compliment this state-of-the-art building, and Crafton Tull engineers proudly provided civil engineering for the facility.
Having worked with the City of Searcy for several years, we have had the privilege of being a part of a wonderful design and construction team assembled to bring these community-driven projects to life. The ambitious vision set forth in the Plan is coming into focus and we are so proud to share in moments like this with this community.
