Current: The Lourie Center started as the Capital Senior Advocacy Center, inspired by a group of Midlands residents who wanted to provide a focal point for senior activities in the Columbia area for the growing senior population. The Center was initially funded by Wachovia (then South Carolina National Bank) and monies from the State Legislature through the state BINGO tax. The center opened its doors at its current location in 1995. In April of 2013 we were renamed the Lourie Center, in honor of late South Carolina State Senator Isadore Lourie. Isadore Lourie is well known for his work as a champion of the elderly He contributed greatly to legislation and reform efforts for aging adults. During his career he sponsored legislation that established the State Commission on Aging, the Interagency Council on Aging, the Homestead Exemption, and the income exemption for the home-bound elderly. He also established the South Carolina Permanent Improvement Program and built or renovated 72 Senior Centers in South Carolina. Today, the Lourie Center is a not-for-profit recreation center for adults ages 50 and up with a vibrant and growing 500+ membership. We are centrally located in downtown Columbia and offer up-to-date physical fitness, cultural, and educational programs for seniors daily as well as plenty of free parking. Our building is at 1650 Park Circle, Columbia SC 29201. We are located behind Maxcy Gregg Park, adjacent to the University of South Carolina campus and Five Points.
