  • The Senior Adult Facility at Dorchester is a 10,600 SF community-based space designed to support the evolving needs of the city’s growing senior population in the emerging Lambs neighborhood. The facility features a flexible-use great room that can serve as a classroom, library, or communal sitting area, along with a fully equipped fitness room, an exercise studio, and a warm-water swimming pool for therapeutic and recreational use. Multi-purpose activity rooms accommodate a variety of programs, such as ceramics, woodworking, and fine arts, fostering creativity and engagement. Designed with a focus on dignity, independence, and well-being, the center provides a welcoming environment that encourages an active and fulfilling lifestyle. The exterior architecture reflects a modern interpretation of Lowcountry design, incorporating brick, fiber cement cladding, and a metal roof. Thoughtfully placed windows and doors allow natural light to permeate the interior while providing serene views of the surrounding landscape. This project embodies GBA, Inc.’s commitment to creating spaces that enhance quality of life and foster community connections.
