Since “The Project” was kicked off by Los Gatos Thrives in 2023, studies, workshops and surveys have demonstrated a strong desire for a new community center in Los Gatos.

And now, two conceptual renderings have been unveiled for the multigenerational community center.

The Los Gatos Community Center Committee, a branch of Los Gatos Thrives nonprofit organization, unveiled the first visual depictions to help give residents a sense of what such a facility could look like.

This may not be national news, but for many in these parts, it’s very good tidings.

These renderings—a one-story option and a two-story option—were on display at the Terraces of Los Gatos, and are available to view at lgcommunitycenter.org.

Los Gatos’ original community center building is now 77 years old.

Another Town-owned building was secured and became the Adult Recreation Center.

So we now have two separate centers.

“The overwhelming sentiment in both the workshops and the survey was clear: Los Gatans want a new community center,” states text on the lgcommunitycenter.org website.

Ryan Rosenberg, a marketer, saw this need and has volunteered to help move this project forward.

“The entire community will benefit now and in the future, with a community center that we can all be proud of—and that all had input in,” he said.

You may notice that these renderings are similar to our existing library. That’s because the drawings were done by the same architectural company that designed our library.
