Woodcroft Community Centre & Library

Adelaide’s JPE Design Studio have revitalised the Woodcroft Community Centre and Library, creating a stimulating focal point in the city’s southern suburbs.

Woodcroft Community Centre & Library

BY

May 17th, 2011

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.
