The Center for Black Excellence and Culture Tuesday announced it had raised $5 million toward its capital campaign goal of $36 million — including a $2 million commitment from Summit Credit Union, the largest donation in the credit union’s history — to build a three-story, 65,000-square-foot cultural center on six acres in South Madison, slated to open in 2023.
“My heart is overjoyed,” said founder Reverend Dr. Alex Gee at a press conference outside Fountain of Life Baptist Church, where he is pastor and which is adjacent to the site of the Center.
The Center also unveiled architectural renderings and floor plan for the center. Designed by Rafeeq Assad of JLA Architects, the Center will include a 220-space parking garage, two theaters, fitness center, art studio space and gallery, recording studio, coworking space, spaces for youth and seniors, the offices of the Nehemiah Center for Urban Leadership Development and more.
