Thrive Community Hub
Thrive Community Hub is a community resource hub that provides settlement support for newcomer refugees, while aiming to be a space that helps to build community. The project is located in a registered heritage building, originally a BC Electric Railway station, in the historic downtown of New Westminster.
Grounded by the domains of Settlement Support Services, Community Space, and an Education and Employment Centre, the design for Thrive Community Hub aims to support newcomer refugees to thrive in their transition into their new community. Design goals for the project include fostering community connections, promoting wellness and a sense of place, and focusing on access and inclusion.
