Loudoun County held a Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting for the new Ashburn Senior Center on Thursday, June 17, 2021. County leaders and members of the public gathered in front of the facility, located at 20880 Marblehead Drive, Ashburn, VA, for the opening ceremony. After the ribbon cutting, attendees were invited inside for facility tours, program demonstrations and entertainment. Normal hours of operation and programming begin Monday, June 21.

In 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved an initial plan for a 15,000-square-foot senior center to be built in the future to serve the greater Ashburn area. In 2017, the future 5-acre site of the Ashburn Senior Center on Marblehead Drive was dedicated to the county by Toll Brothers, the developer of the Regency at Ashburn, a 55-neighborhood adjacent to the community center property.

The project includes the construction of a 15,000-square-foot senior center on the 5-acre proffered site. The Ashburn Senior Center provides administrative and program space for adults 55 , staff and volunteers, including a small gymnasium, large multipurpose room with pickleball courts, commercial kitchen, fitness room, classrooms, game room, computer lab, arts-and-crafts room, restrooms and storage areas.

The exterior areas have been designed as extensions to the classroom areas, allowing activities to flow outside to take advantage of the natural surroundings. The project will be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-certified, a certification indicating that the building meets the environmental needs of the community and will maintain an eco-friendly design.
