New centers with a cafe atmosphere and a fitness emphasis are drawing wide attention as more traditional sites threaten to lose appeal for the coming wave of baby boomers. Raleigh’s new senior center, for which City Council members will select a design consultant today, will mirror its traditional Five Points setting outside, but reflect new thinking inside, planners said.
“The exterior of the building will look 100 years old, but the interior is 21st century,“ Raleigh Parks & Recreation planner Stephen Bentley said Monday at the Whitaker Mill Road site.
