NewCAL Vision Statement The City of Newton’s goal, as an age friendly community, is to build a large, well equipped, comfortable Center to meet the unique interests and needs of older adults, both those currently using the Senior Center and many others who are not. The Center will foster a special sense of community and belonging for this growing group. This facility will be designed to optimize the quality of life for Newton’s older adults and those who support them, through welcoming, respectful and meaningful opportunities that engage, value, and empower older adults to remain independent and important assets in our community. When spaces within this facility are not programmed for older adults, the goal is to offer well managed, quality and enriching community and multigenerational experiences for all residents of Newton. NewCAL
UPDATE: DRAFT GUIDING PRINCIPLES – updated on 2/8 1. Promote and support the Mission Statements of the Senior Services and Parks and Recreation Departments. 2. Spaces within this facility that support one another will be clustered to preserve and support the wonderful sense of community that exists in the current Senior Center. 3. The Center will be age friendly, welcoming to everyone, and will be designed and programmed to meet the needs of seniors and of the broader community. 4. Ensure safety and accessibility both inside and outside the facility through design and operation. 5. Promote social equality and maximize access to programs and services to those who are unserved and/or underserved. 6. This facility will be environmentally conscious, strive to be carbon neutral, and will leave a legacy of responsible design and operation. NewCAL
