The J (Jewish Community Center)
Overland Park, KSThe Jewish Community Center (JCC) was originally constructed in 1988, with a large theater/performance hall addition following in 2004. Monarch was contracted to provide a 27,000-sf sports and fitness expansion (The J) located on the northwest corner of the existing structure. The program for the expansion included:
- New gymnasium
- Youth turf area
- Kids’ zone
- Exercise rooms
- Four additional administrative meeting rooms
- Reception area
- Art room expansion
- Sports and fitness office
- Expanded restrooms
- Controlled entry to the sports and fitness center
With the building expansion, an already near-capacity parking area expansion allowed for an additional 77 parking places to the campus. The addition of these parking spaces and replacement of required green space required the reduction in the size of the existing tennis courts.
