Fab! It's a great site on the street corner and great thing that the centre can have such a bold, extroverted neighbourhood presence. I might be wrong in saying this but I imagine at least historically a tendency to hide away these kinds of programmes and underplay their architecture. This is the scenario where good design really matters and no doubt it will make a huge difference to the residents using it. More more!

I'd say that simply omitting the circular windows would have improved the overall aesthetic. I can't think of a single building that manages to pull of round windows.

The drawings look much nicer than the result.
