The new building is to be linked to the existing building and will house a new clinic area, administration offices, a wellness center, physical therapy, a therapy pool with large adjacent whirlpool, employee training/shelter area, and a large maintenance and receiving area. EMS quarters and ambulance bay were also provided. All areas were designed with accessibility in mind for clients and employees with disabilities.
