Take the bright new Boys & Girls Club of Eden, N.Y. A perfect example of the magic that can happen when a space is designed with young people's needs and interests in mind, Eden is also living proof that spectacular spaces can be designed and built with quality volunteer labor and on a budget - in this case, a shocking $15 a square foot.

Compare that to the average cost of a Club, which tops $100 a square foot, and you'll begin to get an idea of what makes Eden so special.
