Community Resource Center
A 21st century prototype of community inclusiveness for children
and adults, with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The
Community Resource Center, located in central Calvert County, is a multi-functional
building designed to accommodate and support customers of The Arc
and residents of the greater Southern Maryland community. Click

Built in 1986, the Prince Frederick building was a sheltered workshop
for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. During
that time, consumers manufactured crab pots and sold them to local vendors
and fishermen throughout the Southern Maryland region. Although the
building provided a vital service, it segregated participants from the
rest of the community.
The New Community Resource Center was designed to build
a stronger and more inclusive community for children and adults with
intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout Southern Maryland. The
mixed used floor plan includes over 13,000 sq. ft. dedicated for
The Arc’s
Day Support services, recreational & community socialization program,
while housing the agency’s administrative offices.
