"Manggarai Community Center hadir sebagai wadah bagi masyarakat kampung wadas dan masyarakat pendatang yang akan tinggal disekitar daerah TOD manggarai untuk memiliki ruang publik yang dapat mewadahi berbagai-macam kegiatan kemasyarakatan. Hal ini dikarenakan Mangarai akan berkembang menjadi kawasan TOD dimana berdasarkan data kependudukan, kepadatan penduduk di kawasan manggarai sendiri telah mencapai kurang lebih 42 ribu orang per km2. Sehingga dengan padatnya penduduk dalam kawasan tersebut menyebabkan keterbatasan ketersediaan lahan yang berujung pada minimnya ruang publik yang dapat mewadahi kegiatan kemasyarakatan. Bangunan ini diharapkan dapat mewadahi kegiatan komunal masyarakat sekitar, seperti: tempat kumpul bagi masyarakat, rapat RT/RW, bakti sosial, posyandu, bukber, acara kebersamaan warga, pemilu, donor darah dan lain sebagainya. Fasilitas yang ditawarkan dalam bangunan antara lain, ruang serbaguna, ruang membaca dan belajar, meeting room, ruang komunal dan mushola.

The Manggarai Community Center is a space designed for the residents of Kampung Wadas and newcomers who will live in the TOD Manggarai area to have a public space that can accommodate various community activities. This is because Manggarai will develop into a TOD area where, based on population data, the population density in the Manggarai area itself has reached approximately 42,000 people per km2. As a result, the dense population in the area has led to limited land availability, resulting in a lack of public spaces that can accommodate community activities. This building is expected to be able to accommodate communal activities for the surrounding community, such as: a gathering place for the community, RT/RW meetings, social services, posyandu, bukber, community events, elections, blood donation and so on. The facilities offered in the building include a multipurpose room, a reading and study room, a meeting room, a communal room and a mushola."
