Juvo Autism + Behavioral Health Services
Wilmington, MA | 5,000 SF | Dennis Colwell Architects
Juvo’s mission is to enhance the quality of life and future independence for individuals with autism and other behavioral health needs. Because of its unique focus, Juvo’s facilities must completely support and promote its mission, even more so than most companies. Working with Dennis Colwell Architects, the Vantage Builders team took this understanding to heart. The team completely transformed a former office location into a bright and comfortable environment centered around learning and development. The 5,000-SF space has offices, private and open learning areas, plentiful interior glass windows and significant custom, functioning millwork designed around Juvo’s needs. The project required special use permitting, and the Vantage team worked directly with the town’s planning board, a local lawyer and a former selectman to obtain the necessary approvals. The team closely coordinated with the New Jersey-based Juvo, its go-to furniture vendor, as well as multiple subcontractors to comply with building ownership’s guidelines, as well as the regulatory requirements.
