SHRIVER
AND HOLLAND ASSOCIATES
Shriver
and Holland Associates assessed, planned, and designed renovations needed for
improved senior living at the 1952 Ballentine Facility, which maintained the
Georgian style in which it was originally constructed. The first phase includes
a 13,200 S.F., two-story addition that adds 24 new resident rooms, two resident
kitchens, two laundry rooms, and an elevator. Each new resident room is equipped
with a kitchenette unit designed for small appliances. Two fireplaces and a
coffered ceiling in the new 1,000 S.F. lobby and commons area contributes to
a warm and spacious seating and receptions area for residents and visitors.
The existing dining room received a 560 S.F. addition improving service and
comfort for building residents. Existing corridors and public restrooms received
face-lifts to match new finishes; two new ADA compliant guest restrooms replaced
the existing guest restrooms; and the disabled are provided with access to all
public areas, including the garden.
