Counseling Services Department Up-Fit
Greensboro, NC
The Counseling Services Department project included providing an up-fit to an approximately 1,400 square foot area including the reception, waiting, support offices and workroom. Due to the nature of the Department, it was imperative to create separation for privacy purposes between the reception/waiting area and the Counseling offices. It was also our challenge to create four additional office spaces for counselors, an intern and testing area within the existing space. The schedule for this project was imperative; all construction work was required to be done during the summer break and the end users were required to be back in their space prior to the start of the new school year and for an accreditation review.
