OUR EXPERIENCE

Community is more than concrete, bricks and steel.

The sense of belonging and responsibility doesn’t come from a collection of buildings. It comes from how people use those buildings. It comes from a vision of what a building can be.

Lakemary Center Paola, KS

For over 50 years, Lakemary has been a leader in providing individualized services for children and adults with intellectual and developmental differences, impacting over 450 individuals and their families nationwide.

Straub, in partnership with Hoefer Welker, completed a 17,500 SF Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) featuring 40 resident bedrooms, treatment/activity areas, staff workstations, and administrative spaces.
