Construction on the 20,000 square foot, 2-story Westside Family Care Center continues to proceed smoothly, with a target completion date near the end of this summer. Once completed, the facility will enhance the church’s counseling services by providing 25 private offices, three large classrooms for group counseling opportunities, and two play-therapy rooms for young children. From a design perspective, the importance of natural light for the intended use of the space was a critical element and is seen in the integration of large expanses of curtainwall in the lobby, and windows in each counseling office and meeting space. When open this fall, the facility will provide much needed mental health support and resources to the community from an evidence-based, faith-integrated perspective.
