community center / hall, postmodern (architecture)
10-story Postmodern community center completed in 2002. Designed by A. J. Diamond, Donald Schmitt & Company and Schuman, Lichtenstein, Claman & Efron, it is clad in dark-grey brick, glass, and aluminum. Housed in the Samuel Priest Rose Building, the JCC includes a library, swimming pool, nursery school, day camp, after-school programs, computer center and more. The building's materials, style and colors stand out on an avenue dominated by earth-tone classic masonry structures.
The double-height ground floor has a glass curtain wall, except at the west end on 76th Street, where there are grey aluminum panels with a recessed secondary entrance with double-doors and a service entrance, also with double-doors, both below a wide window. The main entrance is near the center on the avenue, with recessed glass double-doors. A suspended glass-and-metal canopy projects over the entry and a bit to the north, with a metal panel reading "MARLENE MEYERSON JCC MANHATTAN".
The midsection of the building is dark-grey brick, with 14 single-windows along both facades of the 2nd floor. There is a windowless section above, and then 3-story window bays, with green glass spandrels between the windows. The upper floors are clad in a glass curtain wall, ribbed with horizontal metal framing. There is a setback above the 8th floor on both main facades. The south elevation is faced in plain, beige concrete.
