This project is a relocation and expansion of an existing
Methadone Maintenance Treatment Program to a new 7,500 s.f.
three-story structure. The building, designed to welcome patients
and accommodate new program needs, ties into an existing building
linking the programs on various floors with a new elevator
to accommodate disabled patients. It houses a four-position
dispensing station, 12 counseling offices, two group rooms
for patient education, an exam room, staff lounge and support
functions. The interior finishes selections, including patterned
tile, carpet and wood in a colorful scheme, provide a calming
and warming effect.
Attached
to a 1930's former Nurses' residence, the new building has
a brick exterior with cast stone lintels, sills and cornice
complementing the existing building. The use of 6-over-6 double-hung
windows maintains the residential appearance of the building
addressing neighborhood concerns with the project.
