Set in the heart of Summerset’s New Urbanist neighborhood, the Community Center reflects a Frick Park vernacular, recalling the stucco buildings of Frederick Scheibler and oversized roofs of Benno Janssen. Giant cedar trusses extend through the exterior walls to support generous eaves and brises-soleil, creating comfortable outdoor spaces. Behind the Community Center are a full-sized adult pool and children’s wading pool, actively used all summer long.

The Community Center includes a great room, mezzanine, a small meeting space, catering kitchen, and toilet rooms. The great room features a large fireplace, exposed cedar trusses, and cedar plank ceiling. It serves as the living room for the community, with dramatic views of the Monongahela River.
