Bob L. Burger Recreation Center

The Project

Essenza Architecture worked with the City of Lafayette to develop a master plan and concept for the revitalization of the beloved Bob L. Burger Recreation Center. The whirlpool, steam, and sauna rooms were 22 years old and received a modern and aesthetically pleasing environment as well as ADA compliance updates. The fitness area on the second floor also received a remodel and addition to create a functional training space.

Responding to the community's input, a new cardio space, a designated cycling room, and an ADA compliant elevator were all added. The fitness atrium was remodeled to create an updated look, and new LED lighting was installed throughout the facility, saving 17 kilowatts of energy. Low VOC paints and "Eco" LEED contributing carpet were used to promote the sustainability goals.
