Passero Associates provided full design services to the Town of Chili for a new building that houses the town’s Community Center, Senior Center, and Library in a single facility. This project explores how a single facility can create efficiencies through shared space and encourage interaction between different user groups. Located within Memorial Park, connection between the new building and existing town amenities is also an important consideration. Passero Associates has led the project through a Feasibility Study, Pre-Referendum Services, and Design and Construction. The new Community Center opened in May 2021, and has received a very positive response by the community.
Passero provided interior design services for this project, including professional assessment, planning, and completion of a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing interior space. Passero developed and implemented a comprehensive design that incorporated the desired style and purpose of the space, while integrating ergonomics, sustainability, and accessibility.

I want to thank you for the wonderful job you did designing the Chili Community Center Library. All along I have been impressed on how you listened to the recommendations you received from me and my staff, and how quickly you implemented them in updated drawings. You understand libraries, and I am glad you were the ones to design this building. Prior to our grand opening I was warned by others that although most comments would be positive, I should be prepared to hear otherwise from a few. Well we have been open now for three days and I have not heard one negative comment. What I do hear repeatedly is how lovely, beautiful, and well thought out the library floor plan is, how nice and bright it is, and what a joy it is to see what the space has to offer. – Jeff Baker, Library Director, Chili Public Library
