Stretching one city block, the Lillie Mae Jones
Plaza will provide the residents of Richmond, CA with both affordable
residential units and a health center. The Brookside Community Health
Center is 9,500 square feet and includes nine exam rooms, health
education offices, medical storage and facilities to serve doctors
and staff, as well as a communal meeting room. Twenty-six residential
units comprise the Community Housing Development Corporation (CHDC),
the affordable housing component of Lillie Mae Jones Plaza. A central
landscaped courtyard with play areas for children provides outdoor
spaces away from the busy street. Green elements are to be incorporated
into the building, including the use of environmentally-sound materials
and passive solar heating and cooling. Parking spaces for 47 cars
are provided for the two buildings.
Completion is scheduled for May 2011.
