How Swampscott has combined its High School and Senior Center

I read an interesting article this week in CityLab.com about how Swampscott had combined its High School and Senior Center.

According to the article: “A tendency toward unruly cafeteria behavior is one thing the senior citizens in Swampscott, a seaside Boston suburb, have in common with the town’s youth, but it’s not the only thing. In fact, the airy 7,500-square-foot facility that hosts their knitting circles, card games, and exercise classes shares space with the local high school.”

It has long struck me that many facilities are used only at certain times of the week or year. Think schools, churches and places of worship, yacht clubs. Kudos to Swampscott for utilizing one space for two community purposes.
