Main Clubhouse
Visually strong and striking, the exterior of the main building will be constructed of steel with metal siding and a brick front. A portico arch over the twin double doors, serving to shield children and adults from the sun and rain, will also frame the logo of the Boys and Girls Club of Alice and the sponsor's name. Interior walls of cinderblock, painted with a high-gloss enamel, will reduce the cost of maintenance. The solid walls will be energy efficient, which will also reduce the cost of heating and cooling bills. Floors in the building will be attractively stained concrete, except in the gym area, which will be made of Sport Court.

The main building will consist of a large Game Room, Tech Center, Community Enrichment Center, Teen Center, two Learning Centers, an Arts and Craft Room, Kitchen/Dining area, Check-in area and an attached gymnasium.
