Kroc Center of Hampton Roads
Norfolk, Virginia
Completed in April 2014, the Kroc Center of Hampton Roads is 90,000-square-foot, $32 million, two-story multi-use building in Norfolk. The main components of community, fitness, and entry are readily apparent in the building with the connectors reduced to their minimum.
The community side contains classrooms, community meeting rooms, a commercial kitchen, teen lounge, and an auditorium. The fitness side contains an exercise and weight-lifting area, full-size gymnasium, locker rooms, elevated jogging track, fitness classrooms, and a large leisure pool and water park. The entry component of the building encompasses the main lobby, cafe, child-watch, and an administrative office.
The Kroc Center houses programs for Hampton Roads residents of all ages and abilities. In accordance with the Kroc family’s wishes, there is a sliding membership scale and scholarship opportunities.
