David Hellams Community Center

Greenville, SC

DP3 Architects was selected to lead the renovation of the David Hellams Community Center in Greenville, SC, following an earlier study. Through community input and exploration of multiple design options, the team advanced the project beyond the original scope—renovating the existing building and developing a new site expansion and master plan.

The new plans drastically improved the accessibility, flexibility, and exterior community appeal—transforming the building from a facility that turned its back on the community to one that is open and actively engages, becoming once again the heart of the neighborhood. This was all accomplished within the limits of the original limited scope budget for the project, truly maximizing the City’s investment in the project. The renovations include mechanical, electrical, and plumbing upgrades along with modifications to improve the accessibility and overall appearance of the facility. The new addition includes a new lobby, offices, and a senior activity room.
