JWest will see the redevelopment of the existing Jewish Community Centre site atPhase one includes the construction of a new eight-storey, 200,000-sq.-ft community centre, with a 104-space childcare facility, a 450-seat theatre, a Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre, a childhood education centre, a senior care facility, a recreational and aquatics facility, and cultural art facilities.
The planning documents also note that the large special-use spaces, such as the theatre and recreational space, will primarily be located at the two ends of the building, with smaller general-purpose spaces closer to the middle, allowing for their uses to change as needed in the future. Careful thought was also put towards the security of the building, with the Jewish Community Centre consulting security experts on safety measures. The resulting design is one that utilizes a single primary point of entry and exit facing West 41st Avenue.Right: Phase One / Left: Phase Two.
Phase two would commence after the completion of phase one, and includes the demolition of the existing building, as well as the relocation of King David High School — currently one block east — to the site, expanding the school’s facilities in the process.
