INTERIOR PROPOSAL
The challenge of the interiors team was to create a two story
multi-functional space for Friends of Refugees (F.O.R.) which could
support a variety of users and functions of the Jolly Avenue
Development Center (JADC). The scope of the program for the
interiors of the facility evolved to include a reception area, a
caretaker’s residential apartment, offices for Friends of Refugees
administrative staff and offices for rental, a board room, a nursery,
classrooms for adults and children learning English as a second
language, pregnancy classes, a wellness clinic, personal and group
counseling rooms a multi-purpose space for events, meetings, and
gathering, a functional warming kitchen, garden processing area,
volunteer overnight stay areas, bike storage and restrooms. Access to
daylighting, gardens and outside activities was a primary concern.
