The Human Services Department, Aging and Adult Services Division is excited to announce that the West Oakland Senior Center (WOSC) is getting a new look! The center is temporarily closed for a Capital Improvement Project that was approved in 2019.
New improvements to the center will include:
- Americans with Disability Act (ADA) ‘path of travel’ upgrades
- Electrification of the building and site, including HVAC system, commercial kitchen appliance and hot water heater replacement
- Interior improvements, including lighting, painting, drinking fountain, toilets and other interior room alterations, improved signage
- Exterior improvements, including parking and drop-off area signage, perimeter security fencing and gates, addition of security CCTV infrastructure, lighting, and exterior painting
