The community center will be two stories tall and about 37,000 square feet. Some of the new amenities include an indoor walking track, indoor gymnasium, and a teaching kitchen. The project is also expected to be good for the environment with county officials saying the building will be LEED certified. That means it will reduce the amount of energy needed to run the facility by 20-percent compared to a normal building. Lumber must come from certified forests and materials can't contain certain chemicals. Artist Talley Fisher will also install a piece of art that's 24 feet tall called "Desert Winds".
The Silverado Ranch community center is expected to open to the public in late 2024. This will be the first community center built by Clark County since the Parkdale facility in 2015.
