We were commissioned to design a center for the re-training and re-education of persons who have suffered cognitive and motor losses as a result of sever head trauma. This facility served as a prototype for similar care campuses developed nationwide by our client.

Located on the site of a former camp in Arkansas, the center contains various specialized classrooms for re-training, as well as therapy pools and exercise areas. Staff research and a central library complete the 21,000 square foot building.

Despite the requirements for very highly specialized functions to be housed within the building, a conscious effort was made to project a warm, familiar vernacular image, to welcome and reassure the facility’s users.
