Space Coast Health Foundation
The Space Coast Health Foundation (SCHF) moved to Rockledge. The former 30,000 square foot “Space Bowl” bowling alley has been completely renovated to house the new SCHF headquarters, the Children’s Advocacy Center of Brevard (CACB), and the local United Way.
The state-of-the-art buildout includes a main lobby where patrons are greeted by beautiful artwork by local artists and all entries to each of the building occupants. The SCHF space includes administration offices, conference rooms, a catering kitchen, and a large community room for local organizations to utilize. The CACB is a program of the Space Coast Health Foundation, and they offer child protection services against abused children. Their space includes administration offices, high-tech interview rooms, and examination rooms.
The United Way leases the remaining 5,000 square feet. Before the move, this local chapter was only able to accept a few donations due to the fact they had no loading dock. The new location comes with a dock that semi-trucks can back up to, unload donations, and store them until sorted and distributed to those in need.
Overall, this community building is a huge asset to Brevard County and the environment. The building meets many LEED requirements such as: Water Use Reduction, Water Efficient Landscape, Optimizing Energy Performance, Building Reuse, Construction Waste Management through reuse and recycling, Indoor Environmental credits by using low-emitting material, thermal comfort and controllability of lighting controls.
