York JCC Jewish Community Center

The lobby is an active space used for a variety of activities. With this in mind, Warehaus explored options to integrate a new centrally located reception desk to control circulation into the building. The new design includes a glass wall at the entrance. This creates a sense of openness while controlling traffic into the facility. The location of the new reception desk also gives JCC staff clear visibility to adjacent spaces like the café, entrance and seating areas. The new electronic security bars add a level of sophistication to the entrance experience. Members now scan a membership card when they enter and exit, clearly communicating the JCC’s commitment to safety.
