daSILVA Architects converted a historic 18,000 SF gymnasium, built in 1924 and designed by Grosvenor Atterbury, into a new facility for the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of patients with autism.
Located on the 165 acre Bloomingdale campus of the NYPresbyterian Hospital, the space is designed as a "treatment village," with activity and consultation rooms flexibly outfitted for use by small children and toddlers as well as by adolescents and adults. READ THE ARTICLE
