A key landmark in the City of Onkaparinga, Woodcroft Community Centre was in need of an upgrade of its Library and Neighbourhood Centre to meet the increasing demands of a growing suburb.

JPE Design Studio conducted extensive community consultation with library users and others in the area when designing the new fit-out.

The result is a comfortable, colourful hub catering to the many different needs of a diverse community.
