Project Details
Abonmarche provided complete architectural and site design services for this project. The Joel E. Smilow Teen Center serves teens in
grades 9–12. The new, state-of-the-art Teen Center is located across the street from the Benton Harbor High School. Originally planned as a renovation of an existing facility, the generosity of donors enabled a brand new structure to be built to the exact specifications of the organization.
The 20,800-sq ft facility includes first-class technology and academic support programs, an 8,000-square-foot gymnasium with regulation-sized high school basketball court, traditional kitchen/café, a game room with computers, pool tables and ping pong tables and an all-purpose space for performing arts.
