The Happy Days Diner, which resembles an old-fashioned malt shop, will be used during special events.

The social room has comfortable sofas and chairs; shelves stocked with books, and a fireplace to help warm things up on cold winter days.

Outdoor features planned for the facility include raised-bed vegetable gardens, a pickleball court, putting green, and walking trail.

The senior center building was originally a surplus modular building obtained from the Navy. The 9,200-square-foot building had been used as a classroom for the Naval School Explosive Ordnance Disposal training center at Eglin Air Force Base.

The City of Niceville purchased the building for about $80,000. It cost $35,000 to move it to the senior center site at 201 Campbell Drive.
