San Juan Center for Independence

Farmington, NM

This new 11,000 square foot multi-use facility was designed to economically meet the diverse needs of the San Juan Center for Independence — a non-profit organization that provides life-skills training, socialization opportunities, and a variety of other services to adults with physical disabilities. The new building includes 11 staff offices with support spaces like a reception area, adjacent board room, file room, copy room and server room. A 3,000 square foot multi-purpose event room opens onto a large covered patio. Also included were a commercial kitchen and a recreational room for the Center’s clients that includes vending machines, couches, a TV, pool table and computers. Care was taken to ensure that the entire facility and site are wheel-chair accessible.
