1. Where can I find information about the new Redmond Senior and Community Center (RSCC) building project?

Visit the Redmond Senior and Community Center project page for latest information about this exciting project. 

2. Why was the original Redmond Senior Center building taken down?

The Redmond Senior Center underwent an exterior building evaluation in preparation for long term maintenance and repairs outlined in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). RSC’s mechanical systems, roof, and building exterior were scheduled to be replaced in 2021. This evaluation conducted by a contracted structural engineering firm confirmed extensive structural damage to the exterior walls and substantial impact to both the lateral and gravity systems. For the safety of the community, the building was closed in September of 2019 and taken down in November of 2020.  

A new Redmond Senior and Community Center (RSCC) building is planned on the site of the original Redmond Senior Center. Please visit the project page here for the latest news, information and how you can get involved in this exciting project.
