Northeast Parent & Child Society

Northeast Parent and Child Society’s existing children’s home built in 1955 was insufficient to address the significant health and safety needs of the youth they serve.  Renovations to the existing facility to fit the current requirements proved to be too prohibitive. With the design build team of Re4orm Architecture and BBL Construction a new 57,500 square foot Children’s Home was developed. The new facility creates a modern, energy efficient and secure environment for both the residents and staff. The building features one security controlled central entry, (2) two story dormitory areas each with 4 individual “pods”, offices for health, counselors and administration, a common dining room, activity room and a full gymnasium. Each dormitory “pod” features (8) sleeping rooms, (2) individual bathrooms, a common TV/recreation and computer area, dining area with kitchenette, and an office for controlled supervision. The gymnasium is high school regulation size with the ability to be divided into two smaller gyms each with half basketball courts. The new Children’s home and new athletic fields are to be completed by June 2009. Cost: $10,000,000
