The Samarkand CCRC Dedicates, Opens Resident Center
The Samarkand, a faith-based CCRC operated by Covenant Retirement Communities, officially dedicated a 9,527-square-foot, two-story building this week.
The LifeCenter building is intended to be the hub of resident activity at the senior living community located in Santa Barbara, CA.
Designed by Kilburn Architects LLC of Seattle, Washington, the LifeCenter building also drew from resident input as part of its design process.
Unique for this development is the fitness center located on the second floor, when usually, due to the weight of the equipment, these facilities are located on the ground floor.
Residens and the architect both wanted to offer those using the fitness facility views of the mountains, so Kilburn mitigated weight/noise issues and put the fitness center on the second floor with an indoor/outdoor cafe and a wellness clinic.
