Madison Community Center Improvement

Status

In Design

Maintenance work and improvements to several areas of Madison Community Center are planned to begin in spring 2026. As of October 2025, the County is finalizing the design for this project.

About this Project

The Madison Community Center at 3829 N. Stafford Street is aging and requires an array of repairs to ensure that it remains functional and safe. The County is planning to begin a maintenance project in spring 2026 to conduct major infrastructure repairs, which will include:

• Installation of a new HVAC system to replace the existing window air conditioning units.
• A new roof to address deterioration and leaking issues and to improve the building’s overall insulation and energy efficiency.
• Replacement of the single pane windows with all new windows, which are causing heat losses and energy inefficiencies.
• Installation of new ceiling tiles and lighting.
• Additional improvements to the lower-level fitness rooms and restrooms; more details to follow.

The facility will be closed during construction to expedite the work and for the safety of building users. Construction is estimated to start in spring 2026. More information about the timing and impacts to existing programs will be shared as it gets closer to the start of the project.

Funding

The FY25 – 34 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) included $4.7 million for the total renovation budget. The FY26 budget included an additional $2 million to complete facility improvements to the lower level as part of the baseline maintenance project, and to fund increased costs related to the electrification of the HVAC system.

 

Related Planning Study

The FY25 – 34 CIP also included $250,000 to support a building analysis to identify improvements within the existing building envelope to better serve current uses. The long-term planning study is expected to begin following the completion of the maintenance project, and will be guided by lessons learned during that project. There will be an Involve level of public engagement as part of this planning study.
