WELLNESS
A place to be well.
Commongrounds was designed as social infrastructure and a "third place"—a social setting separate from the home and workplace where our community actually connects. Our building's common areas welcome people of all backgrounds, ages, and abilities, offering an accessible space to gather, build relationships, and simply be.
Commongrounds embraces integrated and holistic wellness, prioritizing physical, environmental, and social well-being. Located on a walkable, bikeable site overlooking the Boardman-Ottaway River, our building creates diverse opportunities for people to strengthen both their individual health and the health of the community around them.
Since 1995, Groundwork has empowered people to create a better Michigan through innovative, local-based solutions that deliver a clean environment, strong economy, and healthy community.
