Boys and Girls Club - Robert M. Shopneck Branch
Denver, COThe Robert M. Shopneck Branch of the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Denver opened in June of 2007. This new, 23,000 square foot club is located in Brighton, Colorado. The building contains a game room, a gymnasium, an arts and craft area, a computer lab and technology center, as well as a dining area and kitchen. In addition, the club houses a teen center, which is entered separately and gives the Shopneck Branch programmatic flexibility by providing different areas for club members of differing ages. In addition, the building is situated on a multi-acre site that provides large outdoor play areas.
The Brighton community, which was very active in helping the Boys and Girls Club raise money to build the new facility, has a rich agricultural history. This is reflected in the architecture of the building, which recalls agricultural buildings such as barns and silos.
