YSSC New Building Plans
This video interviews Yellow Springs seniors about the benefits of using the Senior Center, the limitations of the current building, and what they're looking forward to in the new building. Put together by students from Wright State University. (June 2025)
The Architects
We are delighted to announce that we have hired LWC architecture firm to design our space, starting with a Space Usage Study in the coming months. You may recognize some of their other projects, such as the downtown Dayton Library, Aullwood Audubon Center, and Benham’s Grove Event Center. See LWCinspires.com.
LWC Architects shared the potential building design in a presentation at the Annual Meeting on Wednesday, June 25. The button below is a link to the video from that presentation.

Virtual tours of other Senior Center online
There are no set parameters for what constitutes a Senior Center. Some, like our neighboring center in Clifton, are a gathering place for potlucks but provide no services and have no staff. Others, like Beavercreek, Springfield, and Xenia, are large complexes that provide meals, fitness centers, pickleball courts and more. If you would like to see some examples of other senior centers, here some links to virtual tours:
United Senior Services, Springfield, Ohio
Sunrise Senior Center (huge, municipally funded)
New Hanover Connecticut (remodel)
Portage Zhang (regional, very large)
50 North, Findlay, Ohio
