Allcove Wellness and
Prevention Center, WSP

Project Overview

SAA transformed a two story, 10,000 SF freestanding building into a fully integrated youth wellness center that supports mental, physical, educational, and peer care for ages 12 to 25. What began as a standard commercial structure is now a purpose built environment designed for comfort, accessibility, and community impact. The facility combines assembly areas, consultation spaces, and administrative functions with thoughtful FF&E, a green wall, curated graphics, and OSHPD 3 compliant systems. The result is a clear, efficient, and welcoming resource for the community.

Project Challenges

  • Interpreting complex codes while controlling cost in the absence of a pre plan check service
  • Navigating on site corrections, unexpected requirements, and a nine week delay
  • Adapting restrooms mid construction to comply with new all gender code updates
  • Redesigning layouts due to abandoned footings and unforeseen existing conditions

Key Moves

  • Provided clear, transparent communication and documented all additional services for client alignment
  • Led weekly coordination across nine external consultants to maintain direction and momentum
  • Anticipated issues early and adapted quickly to keep the project advancing despite regulatory changes
  • Collaborated closely with contractors to resolve unforeseen conditions and maintain design integrity  

Outcome

The completed Allcove center reflects SAA’s ability to turn complexity into clarity. Regulatory hurdles, shifting codes, and existing condition challenges were resolved into a cohesive, compliant, and highly functional care environment. The building now delivers a streamlined workflow for staff and a supportive, accessible experience for youth. The project strengthens community resources, expands SAA’s healthcare and wellness portfolio, and demonstrates the value of disciplined coordination and purpose driven design.
