To create a facility that reflected the company’s commitment to serving disabled people, protecting the environment, and incorporating sustainable practices and materials into all of its buildings and operations.

Manous Design provided land planning studies and site evaluation studies for five potential sites under consideration. Manous Design also provided comprehensive architectural design services, structural and civil engineering services, and interior, landscape and lighting design.
