Lake Zurich Young Adult Center Renovation
Lake Zurich, Illinois
An existing office building has been redesigned to provide a specialized and more positive social-emotional environment for students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) who have completed their graduation requirements and are eligible for post-secondary transition services.
The programming at the renovated facility will concentrate on three key areas for post-secondary preparation: employment, education/training, and independent living.
This facility is tailored to provide valuable experience in each program area for individuals aged 18 to 22 with special education requirements.
The ground level holds a kitchen where students take part in hands-on learning, and the commons area is designed to enhance students’ technological literacy and social skills.
Upstairs, a classroom and living skills lab are complemented by administrative offices. The lower level features a vocational classroom, laundry facilities, and a workout space.
This center fosters a supportive social-emotional setting that promotes social engagement among students and recreational pursuits.
