The Booker T. Washington Community Service Center is a 70,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility and a vision of Booker T. Washington Executive Director Patricia Scott and the board of directors more than 10 years in the making. Drew families, students, and administrators, along with the Booker T. Washington community, all participated in the complex process of planning and working with City Hall to ensure the project’s approval. Construction began in the fall of 2015.

 

The public-private partnership between Drew and the Booker T. Washington Community Service Center is in direct support of Drew’s mission of developing the empathy to understand the impact of one’s voice. Ths gym will solidify a vital connection to a community organization that presents Drew students with a number of service learning opportunities.
