Faunsdale

Community Center

 

Faunsdale is a small historic town located fourteen miles south of Auburn Rural Studio’s Newbern headquarters. A local non-profit dedicated to protecting and promoting the historic and cultural heritage of Faunsdale, called The Faunsdale Foundation, approached Rural Studio to help transform one of the oldest buildings in the historic downtown into a new community center.

 

They hope the new space will strengthen and empower the community by providing new resources such as high-speed internet access and opportunities for new programs like after-school tutoring and music classes.

 Originally a doctor’s office, and then later City Hall, the 1905 building will be adapted and given a new life as the Faunsdale Community Center.
