Transforming MSCR - A New West Side Community Hub

Making way for the new Capital High School location meant significant changes for Madison School & Community Recreation (MSCR). The Hoyt School Building on Regent Street had been the longtime home of MSCR. However, the passing of the 2020 referendum for the Madison School District brought forth an opportunity for expansion, resulting in the establishment of MSCR West and MSCR Central facilities.

Huffman Keel Partners was proud to have collaborated with Madison School & Community Recreation as Owner Project Manager for their new West side location at 7333 West Towne Way. This former big box store location underwent a remarkable transformation, evolving into a vibrant community hub set to cater to the diverse needs of thousands of Madison area residents. Equipped with dance studios, art rooms, a pottery studio, a large gymnasium, and versatile conference spaces, MSCR West is ready to meet the diverse needs of all of its members.

Stepping through the entrance, visitors will immediately notice the large floor-to-ceiling murals on either side of the entryway. These murals are comprised of many different photos and bright colors, embodying the community’s mission of enriching lives through creativity and athleticism. You will also notice large interior windows that open into many of the rooms, allowing for anyone to see what is happening in the classes and to drive a larger sense of community.

Serving Madison since 1926, MSCR is available to all community members and offers a wide variety of programs. MSCR is a place where you can belong and be with a group of people concerned about health and fitness and your overall well-being.

Thank you to Iconica, Daniels Construction, and the dedicated MSCR staff for your commitment and hard work throughout this project. Your efforts helped to bring to life a space that will be a resource to our community for years to come.
