Tucson Chinese Cultural Center

We worked closely with the Tucson Chinese Association, a non-profit organization, from inception to completion of the project to develop the Tucson Chinese Cultural Center.   The center is a 15,600 square foot building surrounded by a meditation garden, a covered basketball/volleyball court, an outdoor patio, playgrounds and gardening areas. The primary building offers amenities such as: lobby/recreation area, multi-purpose room, library/conference room, flexible classrooms, meeting rooms, offices, and commercial Chinese kitchen for catering and cooking classes. 

The main entry feature, a 27-foot high tower with a zinc finish, represents the bow of the ship.  This “ship” landing in the desert, symbolizes the migration, challenges, commitment, opportunities and successes of a community that worked hard to create success for future generations. The facade also contains a brick wall with large circular windows, making a reference to the ship and to moon gates, which are traditional entrances to Chinese architecture.
