Chick Webb Recreation Center

CAM Construction was hired by the Baltimore Department of Recreation and Parks to complete extensive renovations and an addition to the historic Chick Webb Memorial Recreation Center in East Baltimore. The Rec Center, which was built in 1947, serves as a community hub for East Baltimore, and was threatened with demolition in 2017 before receiving its historic designation. When complete, the ~43,000 sqft Chick Webb Recreation Center will feature a new pool, gym, basketball court, walking track, office space, locker rooms, a teen lounge/game room, kiln room, and a recording studio and vocal booth, in honor of Chick Webb’s musical legacy.
