Below are responses to questions asked on the Brazoria County 2004 Public Facilities
Application. The responses are detailed as required and are numbered to correspond with
the questions as they appear on the application.
1. Narrative description of project
The City of Pearland proposes to expand the 4,500 sq ft, Knapp Senior Center located at
2425 Grand Avenue. The facility houses the City's senior citizen programs and provides
its visitors with a place to socialize. The City of Pearland took over the activities at the
facility in November of 2002 and automatically saw an increase in attendance. At the
time 530 people attended the facility and 105 participated in programs monthly. As
Pearland's population of senior citizens grows the facility that houses daily activities for
this population must also grow. To date, 1,000 people visit the center and 1,200
participate in programs monthly. The facility is open Monday through Friday from
8 a.m. to 3 p.m. In its current state, it provides an array of services but is working with
limited space and must have several activities take place in one room simultaneously. It
also has a kitchen area and library area. The renovation and expansion will create more
rooms for activities including exercise rooms and education rooms. It will allow for a
computer technology center and a lounge area. As well, additional office space will be
created for the members of the staff that manage the facility's programs.
2. Need for proposed project
A multi-purpose room provides space for several activities including, dining, television
and lounge area, computer usage, exercise classes, and exercising using equipment. The
activities occur in the same room concurrently. By expanding the current facility to
8,500 sq. ft., rooms for all of the center's activities will be added and allow activities to
be more enjoyable by occurring in areas designed specifically for that activity. Monthly,
1,200 people participate in activities at the Knapp Center. This number of visitors is
more than double the amount of monthly visitors the Knapp Center received two years
ago and is expected to continue to grow. Pearland is Brazoria County's fastest growing
city. The expansion will provide room for the growing senior citizen population of
Pearland to participate in activities at the City's Senior Center. A new, larger facility will
allow room for scheduled activities and classes will be better able to accommodate the
Knapp Center's growing number of visitors. It will also allow for a facility with
accessible leisure services for Pearland's senior citizen population. The Knapp Senior
Center provides services that are not offered by any other organization in the immediate
Pearland area.
