Minneapolis, MN — Mn Adult & Teen Challenge Freedom Manor required a transformation to meet its new programmatic needs, but the project presented several obstacles. The existing building had previously addressed structural deficiencies and deferred maintenance issues, yet these corrections added complexity to further modifications. Design challenges included narrow, maze-like hallways, insufficient restroom facilities, and the need to convert short-term housing into long-term accommodations. Security and functionality also needed significant upgrades to meet the ministry’s goals.
