AE Works Designs New Community Hub for Center of Life

AE Works is honored to lead the design of the new Center of Life (COL) Community Center at Hazelwood Green, a transformative project focused on expanding educational, arts, health, and wellness resources for Pittsburgh's Hazelwood neighborhood and surrounding areas. This project will create a dynamic, multi-use facility to empower local residents and foster community growth.

Sustainable, People-Centered Design

We are proud to bring our expertise to this visionary project, which will include spaces for STEAM education, arts programming, and holistic wellness, as well as flexible workspaces for community use. The design follows the Living Building Challenge guidelines, ensuring sustainability while prioritizing the health and well-being of both the environment and the local community.

This new facility will embody the Center of Life motto — “Everything is about people” — while connecting Hazelwood Green to the surrounding neighborhood. The building’s design aims to create a lasting impact by supporting equitable development, community resilience, and inclusive growth.
