The Lamberts Point Community Center that opened in February 2010, is a 24,300 GSF Community Center that was designed for the City of Norfolk. This is Mr. Greaves sixth Community Center for the City. This facility is the City of Norfolk's first LEED Gold Certified building. It is constructed on a 2.5 acre site adjacent to the Old Dominion University site near downtown Norfolk. The building footprint was designed to use a Rain Garden to filter 90% of the roof runoff and 100% of the 78 space parking lot. The parking lot was designed around a concrete pavers system that allowed the rain water to filter through to the below grade collection system where it is allowed to filter into the ground water. All building components were designed to reduce the carbon footprint of the building and reduce utilities to a bare minimum. The building houses a full gymnasium with 6 basketball back stops and an indoor volley ball court while 250 spectators look on in natural and man made light. The building also supports twin multi purpose room with a full kitchen, art room, exercise room, game room and a 20 station computer technology room. This is only Norfolk's second themed community center and its theme is "Outdoor Adventure". We have a 28 foot tall rock faced climbing wall and a 2,500 GSF children's challenge rope course and a children's climbing wall. This is the first rope challenge course of it's kind where children can experience twelve rope challenges while being only18 inches off the padded floor.
