Marine Parade Community Building
Marine Parade Community Building () is a community building located in Marine Parade, Singapore. Opened in 2000, the building houses the formerly separate Marine Parade Community Centre and Marine Parade Public Library, as well as a performing arts group, The Necessary Stage. Designed by William Lim Associates, one of the distinguishing features of the postmodern building is the mural cladding called the "Texturefulness of Life", the largest piece of installation art in Singapore.
==History==
The current building sits on reclaimed land first occupied by the Marine Parade Community Centre, which was built in the early 1980s and later renamed to Marine Parade Community Club.〔"Learning Journey: Marine Parade Community Club]" (doc), Ministry of Education. Retrieved 26 September 2007.〕 In March 1995, the People's Association (PA) announced plans to spend S$9.56 million to upgrade 54 community centres and clubs that were over ten years old, adding facilities such as lifts, dance studios, karaoke rooms and multi-purpose air-conditioned activities rooms, to make community centres more user-friendly, with open concept offices and reception areas.〔Stephanie Yeo, "PA plans to upgrade 54 CCs that are more than 10 years old", ''The Straits Times'', 11 March 1995.〕
In June 1995, then-Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong asked PA to study the idea of having community centres share their premises with other civil users such as libraries, government offices and commercial developments. Goh, who is also a Member of Parliament for Marine Parade Group Representation Constituency, suggested combining the Marine Parade Community Club, which was slated for upgrading, with the National Library branch in Marine Parade, in a six-storey building with three floors for the community club and three for the library.〔"Use CCs for other purposes too: PM", ''The Straits Times'', 26 June 1995.〕〔"This CC is a community complex", ''The Straits Times'', 22 February 2000.〕〔Suzanne Sng, "A three-in-one community hub", ''The Straits Times'', 27 May 2000.〕 In June 1996, Wong Kan Seng, PA's deputy chairman, announced that due to the scarcity of land in Singapore, eight of the redeveloped community centres, including Marine Parade Community Club, would be located with other civil users.〔"The eight centres", ''The Straits Times'', 28 June 1996.〕
As 30% of the upgrading cost had to be paid by the community club, several fundraising activities were carried out for the redevelopment. These activities, which included music concerts, golf tournaments and cyclethons, raised a total of S$6 million.〔〔 The old club building was demolished in 1997 and construction of the Marine Parade Community Building began the same year. SAL Construction was the project's main contractor. Built at a cost of S$30 million, the new building was completed in January 2000, and was open to the public on 6 March 2000. It was officially opened by Goh Chok Tong on 28 May 2000.〔"Thumbs up for new-concept CC", ''The Straits Times'', 7 March 2000〕〔Joshua Lye, It's not cricket when corruption strikes, ''The Straits Times'', 27 May 2000.〕〔Parvathi Nayar, "Home sweet home", ''The Business Times'', 27 May 2000.〕
