“The George H.W. Bush Community Center has been years in the making and comes as a result of persistence and hard work of our elected officials joining hands with community organizations and leadership in their common goal of enriching the quality of life for its residents,” said Clara Lewis—vice president of the Cypress Creek Cultural District—in a written statement.
The two-story center measures 24,500 square feet and features eight classrooms, three exercise rooms, a kitchen, lockers, a conference room and a community hall.As previously reported by Community Impact, the space previously served as a gym and annex space for the Cypress Creek Christian Church and Community Center, which still operates today. The gym and annex buildings closed in 2017 following flooding during Hurricane Harvey and were later purchased by Harris County Precinct 4 in 2018. Precinct 3 took over the project in March 2022 after commissioner precinct redistricting occurred.
The project was originally slated to open in 2021, but construction stalled for about two years before resuming in November 2021, as previously reported by Community Impact. Supply shortages during the coronavirus pandemic delayed the project as well as new county and federal regulations for developing in flood-prone areas.
“This beautiful complex will greatly enhance the quality of life for all residents in Northwest Harris County,” said Glenn Wilkerson—president of the Cypress Creek Cultural District—in a written statement.
The center is located at 6827 Cypresswood Drive, Spring.
