The Villages - July 2018 - 17

Q.What sort of responses and reactions have you heard
from Villagers in regard to the recreation centers?
A.Most residents seem to enjoy our recreation centers.
Our biggest response was to Eisenhower, of course. I've
been told by many how proud they are to have it here in
The Villages.
Q.How important do you think design at the
recreation centers is for Villagers?
A.I think our Villagers are very happy that we put so
much thought and detail into our recreation centers.
They are each unique. We listen to their wants and
needs and do our best to incorporate them into our new
centers as we grow.
Q.Are there any interesting items or decorations
that stand out in your mind that you included in a
recreation center's design?
A.There are so many interesting items in our centers.
Eisenhower has many personal items of our service
people, such as a flag from Hiroshima and personal
letters. Rohan has fun pieces of The Villages history.
SeaBreeze has lots of photos of family and friends.
Q.Do you have a "favorite" recreation center or area?
If so, what makes it your favorite?
A.My favorite recreation center is usually the one
we just finished. It's kind of like giving birth. It's very
exciting to see what is on paper come to life and watch
all our Villagers enjoy them.
Q.What are some upcoming projects you are looking
forward to?
A.Right now we are working on Everglades Recreation
Center, a tribute to our national parks. It's always fun to
do the research on projects like this. We get to learn a lot
about our country with this one.
