The Charles McDowell Center for the Blind was constructed in the early 1990s and has minimal upgrades to the building over the past 30 years. The First Floor of the East Wing contains 15 Dorm Rooms, support areas including Arts/Crafts, Study, Laundry, Nurse’s Station, Fitness Room, Offices, Lounge, Kitchen, and Cafeteria. The First Floor of the West Wing and Second Floor consists of administrative and teaching spaces. This project consists of interior finish renovations throughout, select locations for training area reconfigurations, as well as mechanical, electrical, and plumbing renovations throughout. The project will be constructed utilizing four (4) Phases in order to keep the majority of the building operating throughout construction. The areas under construction will be unoccupied at the time of construction, while adjacent spaces will be occupied.
