University Area Community Social Services Center
13605 N 22nd Street
 
University Area Community Social Services Center
 

Project Description:

The University Area Community Social Services Center is an approximately 6,400 sq. ft. facility. The center’s mission is to provide access to medical coverage and limited financial assistance for eligible low-income county residents. The facility shares property with a health clinic, vital statistics and W.I.C.(Women’s Infants Children) Services.

 
Artwork Goals

Many customers seeking services at the center are in a crisis situation. Therefore, the selected artwork should be calm and inspiring to the patrons as they wait for services. Any exterior artwork must coordinate with the overall University Area Community Master Plan. The master plan includes proposed infrastructure improvements to the 22nd Street corridor and will directly impact the center.

 
 

Opportunities for Public Art

There are several opportunities for public art both inside and outside the facility. They include, but are not limited to the following:

Exterior Covered walkway
This open air covered walkway links the parking lot and the street with the various department entranceways. This walkway will be a prominent focal point after completion of the improvements to the 22nd Street corridor.

Multi-Purpose Room
This room is used for overflow customer waiting and various community meetings. The room has significant wall space available for art.

Customer Service Waiting Room
This area is especially busy. The area directly behind the receptionist’s desk is available.
