A highlight of the evening will be a meet-and-greet with the architectural team for the new E. Pat Larkins Community Center, offering attendees an early opportunity to learn more about the design team. 

That architectural team was selected by RP Pompano, LLC, in partnership with the City of Pompano Beach and the CRA, and is comprised of STUDIO-US and METICULOUS Design Architecture.

Selected for their shared philosophy of “designing for humanity,” the joint team will lead a collaborative design process rooted in listening and supported by a robust community engagement framework. STUDIO-US, led by Stacey Boynton, AIA, NOMA, is a local, Black- and woman-owned design firm based in Pompano Beach, bringing a deep understanding of the City’s fabric. Together with METICULOUS Design Architecture, a black-owned firm focused on civic and municipal spaces that elevate the human experience, the team will guide a series of interactive visioning sessions, workshops, and open forums in close collaboration with residents and stakeholders.
