AS ROANOKE CONTINUES
TO GROW AND CHANGE,
CENTER IN THE SQUARE
REMAINS A CONSTANT,
EVOLVING ALONGSIDE THE
COMMUNITY IT SERVES.
says. " Recognizing that it isn't always possible
for families to visit Kids Square, it has developed
outreach initiatives. It now has a strong
reputation for collaboration in our community
and has grown to see nearly 80,000 guests
annually! "
The design of the building itself is a masterpiece,
featuring an innovative cantilevered
structure that seemingly floats over the downtown
area. This striking architectural feat,
coupled with the panoramic views it offers of
the city, has earned it a spot among Virginia's
most renowned landmarks. The Roanoker's
1984 coverage details included the building's
recognizable atrium:

" Center in the Square's centerpiece, in several
senses of the word, is the white-fenced
climb of the atrium. The coiled staircase, looked
upon by the variegated green of golden pothos
and white poinsettias, is indeed the core of the
building, and its symbiotic, sympathetic relationship
with each organization around it does
suggest the pump of blood to and from the
heart. "
Over the past four decades, Center in the
Square has been at the forefront of nurturing
the region's artistic talents and educating the
public on various aspects of history and science.
Countless exhibits, performances and
educational programs have been presented to
inspire and engage audiences of all ages and
backgrounds. From captivating theater productions
to interactive science displays, thoughtprovoking
art exhibitions and fascinating historical
artifacts, Center continues to enrich the
lives of its patrons.
As it enters its fifth decade, the Center in
the Square shows no signs of slowing down.
With a renewed commitment to inclusivity,
accessibility and relevance, it aims to inspire
future generations and remain an essential pillar
of Roanoke's cultural landscape.
For 40 years, it has illuminated the heart of
Roanoke, and it is destined to continue shining
brightly for many more years to come. I
