Wallis Annenberg GenSpace

We are open! Designed by renowned architecture firm, OMA, GenSpace is an innovative community space for older adults. Come visit us in person or participate in one of our online classes or programs.

We serve as a community center for all generations—because the elderly have so much to give and teach us all. It will be a neighborhood hub for forging new relationships—because social connection is what helps us stay vibrant, extends life, and makes it worth living. It will emphasize creativity and learning—because that’s what keeps minds fertile and functioning at every age.

Some of the greatest works of art and acts of public service are the products of older Americans. Even so, much of popular culture marginalizes older adults by depicting them as physically, emotionally, and intellectually frail. That’s a stereotype we must work to change. GenSpace will foster leadership in aging — with convenings and conversations on longevity, including how we can change the outdated narrative and images. GenSpace will serve as a place to ignite a new kind of national conversation on aging.
