Voluntary Action Center’s Opportunity Campus (“The Hub”) Gains Local Media Spotlight

Since opening its doors in Columbia, Missouri, the Voluntary Action Center (VAC) Opportunity Campus—widely known as The Hub—has made an immediate, measurable impact on our community. Designed by PWArchitects to streamline 24/7 housing support, basic needs, and wraparound social services under one roof, the facility is already exceeding early expectations and expanding vital local partnerships.

Recent coverage from mid-Missouri media outlets highlights how the new campus is serving Boone County residents in its critical first months of operation:

PWArchitects is proud to have partnered with the Voluntary Action Center to bring this transformative civic facility to life, creating a welcoming, functional environment built to support Columbia neighbors for years to come.
