The Polinsky Children’s Center is a 97,875 SF foster youth facility 

that accommodates  children from infants to teens. They are housed 
in “Cottages” which look like large homes, with a open common area 
and private bedrooms. Our scope was to modernize the whole facility 
with new interiors and electrify the site to minimize its carbon footprint.  
Total construction cost was $4,422,000. My role on the project was 
project architect and LEED accredited professional. The interiors 
finishes needed to be durable to withstand the constant use by 
children, and comforting to enhance the experience of the residents.
