Board member Scott Bannett – our construction expert – joined me for today’s walk-around exclaiming “awesome progress” as we finished up. I would agree. Scott’s perspective went deeper into construction details than most of our guests, providing me with a greater appreciation for the choreography of the project necessary to ensure excellent construction delivered on time.

What really filled my heart today, though, were the housing units for our children. The structures in both the Lindens Neurobehavioral program and Campus Residences already look and feel like community homes, homes that will support the children in residence in ways they deserve and what we’ve always wanted to provide.

The Campus Residences – which will house 44 kids – are truly spectacular with welcoming front porches, views of the tree-lined campus, inviting group space and perfectly designed bedrooms and shared kitchens and laundry areas. The siding is already in place on a few, giving it a real neighborhood look and feel. Along with an indoor gym, pool and play spaces, the outdoor sports and play areas will really bring so much joy and fun to the lives of the kids in residence and in school.
