Carlisle Multi-generational Community Center


The Town of Carlisle acquired the 6 acre 338 Bedford Road property and engaged Abacus to conduct a public process and develop a master plan for how to best utilize the site for town purposes.

Abacus orchestrated an open community design process with the Council on Aging and Parks and Rec. to get input, explore site development options, and build consensus around the best use and layout for the site and building program.  A final direction was set and coordinated with Town Boards and Departments.

Abacus recently completed Phase 2 with the Town’s Advisory Group- developing a more detailed Multi-Generational Community/Recreation program that serves the needs of many of the towns constituencies in a cost effective manner, and laying out the building and site to engage the town and its needs.

Challenging storm water management, parking and site circulation are being analyzed and options developed.
