Sub-Acute Treatment for Adolescent Rehabilitation STARS’ goal is to restore children to their highest level of independent self-care by having multiple levels of treatment on one campus. Delivering this care in the community reduces the total cost of care. The STARS program provides outpatient, residential and subacute care for adolescents. The campus-style treatment center, on the grounds of an existing hospital, surrounds a landscaped courtyard, creating an enhanced sense of community. The courtyard is used for recreation, performances and outdoor classrooms. Four connected eight-bed cottages make up the residential group home. A 15-bed skilled nursing building provides sub-acute care. The entire campus is supported by a school and surrounding village of support spaces. Utilizing the symbolic image of the little red schoolhouse, the STARS campus creates an overall sense of security.

The Mary Graham Children’s Center has been designed for children who need temporary shelter in a warm, protective environment. The eight-acre campus complex opened in June 2003 with nine new structures, replacing an inadequate and antiquated county facility. The Design Partnership worked with the client to verify the program, coordinate the work of the Office of Education which included three school structures, and develop the overall campus plan. The campus includes a central green space and play area surrounded by housing for 60 children in four cotages, facility administration and intake, child advocacy center, visitation building, multipurpose building, classroom building, library, and arts/storage building. The cottages are paired to allow swing beds between each pair, facilitating adjustment to changing census. The facility has been designed to exceed Title 24 Energy Efficiency standards and utilize non-toxic, childfriendly materials. The new buildings were designed to provide an attractive campus that supports the counseling and education of the children in a safe, stable environment during an average two- to three-week stay before placement in foster homes, satellite homes or treatment programs.

CPMC Child Development Center The Design Partnership provided complete AE services for the tenant improvements of the California Pacific Medical Center, Child Development Center. The CDC offers programs for infant to adolescent children who are facing surgery or a variety of developmental challenges. Through adaptive reuse of existing office space, this project created medical offices for therapists and physicians, spaces for physical therapy, and associated support spaces. By maximizing natural light and bold, friendly colors, the space offers an approachable environment in which children can develop their speech and motor skills. Treatment at the Child Development Center includes occupational, physical, speech, and play therapy.
