Description: The Children’s Safety Center facility was designed with three secure-entrance areas representing the organization’s core programs, according to project officials. The first contains a lobby and administrative areas, as well as spaces for survivors of child abuse, forensic interviews and advocate offices. The second area includes rehabilitation rooms and therapy offices, while the third area houses support and community outreach functions. Each child served by the Children’s Safety Center will paint and place their handprint on the walls. Design officials say handprints also will be showcased on the building’s facade, and a fingerprint pattern is used on wall glazing that creates privacy while letting natural light flow to the interior.
Bapa Network is adding to its Dunkin’ lineup with a new shop in northwest Springfield, just east of the intersection of Chestnut Expressway and West Bypass.
