My design will have a village-inspired concept that is motivated by the community involvement and the quote “It takes a village”.

Custom millwork made for those who want to grab coffee or heat up their food without having to step in the kitchen. There is a floating shelf as well as drawers and a cabinet for storage.

There are two Employment Classrooms within the building. They are designed to to teach the members different ways of getting and maintiing a job whether that is resume building workshops or how to follow a schedule.
