Goals

Saint Leonard’s Ministries is embarking on an important project to improve the living conditions of its residents. The campus includes facilities for both male and female ex-convicts, with separate buildings for each gender. Currently, the male campus is spread across four buildings that include bedrooms, offices, and a dining hall, while the female residents have a single building that houses all necessary functions.

One of the main challenges our residents face is the lack of privacy and dignity due to the shared rooms and the poor condition of the existing building.

Results

Our new architectural design aims to solve this by giving each resident their own private room, providing the safety and privacy they deserve. We are also creating additional communal spaces to encourage interaction and a sense of community among residents. Plans for exterior work include creating gathering spaces for everyone, further fostering socialization and inclusion while creating a nice dynamic between indoors and outdoors spaces.

Our goal is to create a high-quality, warm, and welcoming environment that makes our residents feel truly at home. This project is dedicated to transforming the living spaces into a nurturing home for those who need to feel they belong.
