Praised as “the most innovative facility of its type in the United States,” this mental health treatment center in Anchorage combines aesthetic appeal with cost-efficiency. The design minimizes the institutional feel, creating a more welcoming environment.
The central winter garden serves as the hub, allowing staff to monitor the facility while providing patients with a therapeutic space filled with natural light. The “Main Street” corridor connects patient services and recreational areas, with the flexible design accommodating up to 80 beds.
