With nearly a century of history providing quality care to children across a wide array of programs, Rosecrance Health Network had also established its position as one of the leading Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment Programs in the country. Rapid growth and cramped and outdated existing facilities were proving challenges to providing the level of high quality of care that they are associated with.
Armed with a vision to provide an innovative and state of the art facility to support this leading program, Roscrance and its CEO Phil Eaton engaged Larson & Darby Group to begin the masterplanning and programming work associated with this new facility.
Larson & Darby Group worked closely with Rosecrance to define and refine its program needs and study their placement across different site and organizational configurations. These configurations were tested across a number of potential sites and during this design process, the conception of a facility emerged that integrated the unique requirements of Roscrance's program and a landscape healing garden that would serve as an adjunct to the traditional care areas and could also serve as a setting for other types of treatment that utilize the calming and tranquil qualities of garden spaces.
The unique quality of the Rosecrance treatment program is that it is part school, part church, part clinic, and part residence. A compact plan of living spaces is spread out on the site in such a way as to create private interior courtyards. The overall building is sited to make the best possible connection to the healing garden. Elements of the healing garden – running water, still water, stones, and landscape – were drawn into these courtyards to bring the healing garden experience right to the door of the facility.
The Rosecrance Griffin Williamson Campus was designed by Larson & Darby Group working in close partnership with Rosecrance to provide an ideal setting in which to begin and end the journey to lasting recovery for adolescents and their families struggling with substance abuse.
