Section 2.0: Background The Senior Center is run by the City of Fort Collins. The existing 40,000 square foot facility features a four-lane lap pool, a 6900 square foot fitness center (gymnasium and elevated job/walk track), a 5400 square-foot multi-use room with stage, full service kitchen, a large reception/lounge with gas fireplace, classrooms, snooker/pool room, library/media center and crafts rooms. Outdoor areas include a patio and outdoor activity yard. The beautifully landscaped site overlooks Rolland Moore Park. The Fort Collins Senior Center was started as a part-time operation in the early 1970’s in a park facility. A full time program was established within a year at a downtown location. In 1988, the Fort Collins city council appointed several citizen committees – the Choices 95 process – to evaluate and recommend to the voters capital projects that would take the City into the next decade. One of the projects that were recommended by the Choices 95 committee was a new senior center. In March 1988, voters approved a quarter-cent sales tax to pay for the $5.5 million senior center RFP 7316 Business Consultant for the Senior Center Page 5 of 19 and other capital improvements. The construction of the Fort Collins Senior Center began in September, 1993 and was completed in the summer of 1995. The vision of the program is to provide educational and recreational programs that ensure meaningful use of leisure time; promote health and wellness, and encourage active lifestyles; provide a supportive setting for socialization; provide information, referral and support to all adults, especially those 50 years and older; and to facilitate the efforts of senior service providers who share similar interests. It is a community focal point where persons 50 and older come together for services and activities which enhance their dignity, maintain their well-being, support their independence and encourage their involvement in and with the community. The mission of the Fort Collins Senior Center is to encourage adults to enrich their lives through activity and knowledge. Activities provided through the Senior Center include aquatics, arts, crafts, clubs and organizations, community gardens, dance, drama and theatre, fitness, leisure learning, music, outdoor recreation, sports and games, social activities, trips and travel, volunteer opportunities, and wellness. Since opening the doors in 1995, the Fort Collins Senior Center quickly fulfilled its promise. The Center was recognized by the National Council on Aging (NCOA) in 2008 as unique and innovative and featured as a national standard. The FCSC is one of only two NCOA/NISC (National Institute of Senior Centers) accredited senior centers in Colorado and has received national accreditation twice. Additionally, the FCSC has received national recognition for its excellence in service to its patrons. The Senior Center serves the Fort Collins community in many ways. While the primary focus for use and programming is to provide activities for people 50 and older, a number of programs and activities are available for all adults. Family oriented intergenerational events are featured throughout the year. The Center also provides space for use for other City sponsored recreational programs. As space is available the Center is used for a number of public and private purposes hosting a variety of services, meetings and trainings, performances, social events, and many other activities. Who Uses the Senior Center? Approximately a thousand people visit the Senior Center per day each year. Some come to look at the facility, look for resources, visit with friends or register for programs offered through the Recreation Department. Others are program participants. In 2010 27,648 were involved in aquatics, 74,393 in social programs, 4,521 in art programs, 3,252 in the travel program, 65,968 in fitness and wellness activities, 1528 in outdoor recreation, 14,997 in educational programs and 2400 in dance.
