PREMIERE FACILITY

This project consisted of the adaptive reuse of an existing two story food market. The spaces feature vibrant color palettes, fully accessible facilities, significant amounts of daylight and comfortable furnishings.
This project was completed by Richard Carroll while at a previous firm.
Working with Rich Carroll on the LIFE St. Francis project has been a wonderful experience. His energy, enthusiasm and commitment are exceptional. The design that they developed for the center reflects our understanding of the PACE model of care as well as sensitivity to the needs of frail seniors.”

EXPANDED PROGRAMS

LOCATION
Cheyenne, WY
While at a previous firm, Rich Carroll developed a design that responded to the client’s needs for larger social spaces, a large clinical suite with private exam rooms, an expanded physical therapy suite and access to the outdoors with a new large patio to enjoy the wonderful weather. We oriented the spaces to maximize the windows, finished with local materials and created a new Home for the program. Working with a talented consultants, contractors and suppliers, the project was completed in six months and fully operational weeks later to the delight of the program leadership and most importantly, the seniors they serve.
“ Rich and his team transformed a dark, empty building to a light-filled, warm and welcoming environment that allows for optimal care of our frail, elderly population.”
Rebecca Carey, Executive Director Wyoming PACE
