MGAC on The Move: Joy Evans Therapeutic Recreation Center
The building process is complex and comes with common—and not-so-common—challenges. Learn more about what we do as Project Managers in our bi-monthly video series, MGAC on the Move. For each episode, a different member of our team gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at one of their current projects. Now let’s get moving!
This month on #MGAConTheMove, Mike Etherton takes us behind the scenes of the Joy Evans Therapeutic Recreation Center, DC’s premier therapeutic recreation center in Ward 7. The project team is completing work on the interior finishes including the indoor pool, and site amenities are continuing to be installed. Expected to be complete this summer, the space will serve residents along the full spectrum of physical and cognitive abilities.

Hi, I'm Mike Etherton, Associate Director of MGAC. Today I'll be giving you a tour of the Joy Evans Therapeutic and Rec Center in Washington, DC. Let's get moving!
MGAC is providing project management services for a new 38,000 square foot facility run by the Washington, DC Department of Parks and Recreation. The facility includes an indoor pool, an interior full-court gymnasium, an indoor fitness center, therapy rooms, sensory room, caregiver room, tech lounge and offices. The exterior includes playgrounds, a splash pad, an outdoor basketball court, a community garden, an athletic field and walkways and pathways for the community to enjoy nature. The new facility is scheduled to open summer 2024. It will serve those of all ages and along the full spectrum of physical and cognitive abilities and will be representative of the district's commitment to sustainability.
I hope you enjoyed seeing what's happening at Joy Evans Therapeutic and Rec Center. Follow us to see MGAC's next move.
