Star of Hope Childrens Building.

This new 15,000-sq-ft, three-story building will provide the group with facilities for all child care on its campus.

Aesthetic durability, which was a key factor in the building's design, was accomplished through the use of crisp lines and a diverse color array.

The first floor is made up of classrooms, while the second floor comprises office space for the program staff, along with a conference room. The third floor has a wide open floor plan of more than 2,500 sq ft and is intended as a place for older youth to mingle.
