Join us for the second of SCS' four Sunday afternoon concerts in collaboration with Queens College’s Kupferberg Center for the Arts.

This innovative collaboration is made possible in part thanks to a City-funded program called SM(ART)S: Seniors Meet the Arts, recently launched by the Department of Cultural Affairs, the New York City Council, and the Department for the Aging. Using a competitive application process, this initiative matched 57 cultural organizations with more than 150 senior centers in neighborhoods across the five boroughs.

This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department for the Aging.



 

SCS WINS BUILDING AWARD FOR SENIOR CENTER RENOVATION


SCS' new Center for Active Older Adults was honored by the Queens Chamber of Commerce at its 95th Annual Dinner and Building Awards on December 6. One of 17 Queens-based organizations recognized for excellence, SCS, Woertendyke Adjah Associates, Inc. (WAAI), and the Northeast Contracting Group received First Prize for Excellence in Design in the Rehabilitation/Interiors category for the transformation of an auto body shop into a spectacular Center for Active Older Adults. The architectural team from WAAI came up with inspired solutions including a skylight and curvilinear glass-brick walls that welcome natural light, and introduced colorful design elements. What began as a dark, nearly windowless garage, became a light-filled, multipurpose Center that seniors, staff, and community members will use and enjoy. “The space is entirely transformed," says executive director Judy Zangwill. "We are certain that SCS will continue to be the center of community activity and provide a cheerful and warm center for active older adults, including many who are not ready to be called ‘seniors.'”
