Janet L. Witkin Center

BEYOND THE STATS

• The Janet L. Witkin Center provides new homes for low-income and formerly homeless seniors in a supportive community environment.
• The challenge of incorporating critical community spaces on a small site necessitated finding unique opportunities for gathering places throughout the project. A large central community room was designed on the ground floor to open up to the central, south-facing courtyard and creating a light and airy space.
• Universally designed spaces support all residents regardless of ability, strength or physical function. Unique accent colors and materials at different floors assist in creating recognizable visual and tactile cues that assist with orientation. A community garden and patio on the roof deck provides a more private area for social interaction and gives residents the opportunity to grow their own herbs and food.
