introduction project context and client client this semester, we have been working alongside our client: foster adopt connect (or fac). fac is a non-profit organization dedicated to working beside those affected by foster care/adoption; whether this be in the form of helping the parents of family with an adopted child, teaching new foster parents, or serving a young adult whose aged out of foster care become a working member of society.
project fac came to us for help in the design process of thier new headquarters in kansas city, mo. the renovation of a 30,000 sq. ft. old catholic school would then serve as the fac’s 6th, and largest, location.
project requirements the fac’s new building would provide them with many programs. the 3 storing building would hold office spaces, a food and clothing pantry, training rooms, classrooms, a health clinic, a homeless shelter, and studio apartments for those who have aged out of foster care.

introduction project research kids will be in and out of this facility, some may feel that they’re temporary stay has no meaning.
implement pieces around the facility that bring a sense of belonging.
with families coming in and out of the facility, there will be children of all ages.
create a space that is usable by all ages, with activities for a range of ages to enjoy.
children connected to foster care system, may be exposed to more trauma as a child.
research elements of design that are philosophically proven to create a sense of protection and comfort.
the location falls within a mainly residential neighborhood, so the amount of people using this site may create noise
create a building that acknowledges noise within the building. this meaning, that the rooms are organized based of noise.
5
introduction project inspiration research
my inspiration grew from pictures that supported this idea of belonging and community. whether this mean belonging represented through a dinner table, community shown through revolving glass doors, or community spaces formed by material change.
6
schematic design concept statement and drawing as young adults come in and out of this facility, some may potentially feel as if they don’t belong. i long to design for these people to feel that they do and that they complete the building. my design revolves around brining in elements that encourage community and thus an overall idea of belonging.
my concept drawing depicts the overall shape of the building with green community spaces. with out the community spaces, the building lacks full potential, but with the pieces belonging in the building, it is complete.

schematic design client interview q: what exactly does the health care center encompass? a: it is primarily a center for physiological treatment rather than health treatment, but health treatment is still mandatory within the space. q: what is security like in this space? a: we hope to have some kind of security guard as well as security cards. q: who is using the office space? a: office space is used for those who work at fac and need an office space. different programs such as kinship navigator, behavioral innervation, and financial. a wide variety of office space needed: private office, conference room, and desk space.

schematic design overview from client
want
don’t want
most workers want a variety in office space, primarily more private offices for supervisors and classified programs.
long, narrow hallways! there are many in the independence location, and few are fans of the circulation.
more storage space integrated throughout the building; utilization of every corner and wall. a space where workers in each department are able to get together to have private conversations or team meetings.
colors and materials that are distracting and easily damageable. small, permanently fixed classrooms. this is essentially going to be a space for teaching, with the ability to be transformed in case of larger gatherings and events.
a space comfortable for long work days, as many will be there for long office hours.

design development persona(s)
kelly renolds: an ofďŹ ce worker in the ďŹ nancial department. she usually goes through the back entrance to have a direct circulation.
matthew holmes: is a foster child with tremendous ptsd. his current foster parents take him to the health clinic for therapy.
15
design development elevations reception desk: upon first arrival, guests such as matthew holmes, are greeted with a warm, brown feature wall with the main logo enlarged on top. 1/4” = 1’ - 0”
food pantry: the food pantry located in the north building offers people of all heights to reach the shelves. 1/4” = 1’ - 0”
16
design development elevations
community conference rooms: for workers, they will have the option to work in a conference room designated to their program. it allows for the walls to be opened in one large space.
17
design development section cut
section of building: a longitudinal section cut shows the main circulation through the space. it also shows the vast differences in function (public vs private)
18
design development donor wall
with the donor wall located by the main reception desk, it is main attraction for everyone. to communicate the idea of belonging, i wanted each donor plaque to come together to create a letter. while the plaques spell out thank you, the word thank you is printed directly on the wall in different languages. because of the wide variety in races present from the demographics, i wanted each person to feel that they belong with their personal language seen on the wall.
19
design development 3d views office space: this 3d view shows the wide variety in office space: a larger conference room, individual desks, and private offices. the individual desks are faced towards each other for a community driven atmosphere.
coffee bar: even in the circulation, i wanted community to be felt. this is executed by placing a coffee and break space secluded from the main entrance, but a middle point between the offices and classrooms.
20
design development 3d views
children’s corner: for a child like matthew homes, having a space in the reception area suitable for children, is a great way to bring community even for younger children. children are able to participate in a wide variety of activities.
21
design development furnishes
furniture selected allows for easily movable, communicative, pieces. made of natural materials, the selected furniture leaves the users comfortable while being made of sustainable product.
