The Adult Center for Enrichment (ACE) opened on June 4, 1984, as a division of Corporation of Guardianship, Inc (COG). In December 1987, to clarify its public image and more adequately support and promote its program; the Adult Center for Enrichment was separated from COG and formed its own private non-profit corporation. ACE began operations in the former Cerebral Palsy and Orthopedic School on Gatewood Avenue in a lease arrangement with the Cerebral Palsy Association and Gateway Education Center. In late 1987, ACE moved to a temporary location for its program at St. Paul Presbyterian Church on South Chapman Street. In August of 1989, the Adult Center for Enrichment moved to one of its present locations, ACE at Bardolph. This adult day care/day health center is located in the Dorothy Bardolph Human Services Building, downtown Greensboro.

The administrative offices of the Adult Center moved from ACE at Bardolph Center in March 1997 to the Self-Help Building, 122 N.
