Sub-Acute Treatment for Adolescent Rehabilitation
STARS’ goal is to restore children to their highest level
of independent self-care by having multiple levels of
treatment on one campus. Delivering this care in the
community reduces the total cost of care. The STARS
program provides outpatient, residential and sub-
acute care for adolescents.
The campus-style treatment center, on the grounds of
an existing hospital, surrounds a landscaped courtyard,
creating an enhanced sense of community. The court-
yard is used for recreation, performances and outdoor
classrooms. Four connected eight-bed cottages make
up the residential group home. A 15-bed skilled nurs-
ing building provides sub-acute care. The entire cam-
pus is supported by a school and surrounding village
of support spaces. Utilizing the symbolic image of the
little red schoolhouse, the STARS campus creates an
overall sense of security.

The Mary Graham Children’s Center has been de-
signed for children who need temporary shelter in a
warm, protective environment. The eight-acre campus
complex opened in June 2003 with nine new structures,
replacing an inadequate and antiquated county facil-
ity. The Design Partnership worked with the client to
verify the program, coordinate the work of the Office
of Education which included three school structures, and
develop the overall campus plan.
The campus includes a central green space and play
area surrounded by housing for 60 children in four co-
tages, facility administration and intake, child advo-
cacy center, visitation building, multipurpose building,
classroom building, library, and arts/storage building.
The cottages are paired to allow swing beds between
each pair, facilitating adjustment to changing census.
The facility has been designed to exceed Title 24 En-
ergy Efficiency standards and utilize non-toxic, child-
friendly materials.
The new buildings were designed to provide an attrac-
tive campus that supports the counseling and education
of the children in a safe, stable environment during an
average two- to three-week stay before placement in
foster homes, satellite homes or treatment programs.

CPMC Child Development Center The Design Part-
nership provided complete AE services for the tenant
improvements of the California Pacific Medical Cen-
ter, Child Development Center. The CDC offers pro-
grams for infant to adolescent children who are fac-
ing surgery or a variety of developmental challenges.
Through adaptive reuse of existing office space, this
project created medical offices for therapists and phy-
sicians, spaces for physical therapy, and associated
support spaces.
By maximizing natural light and bold, friendly colors,
the space offers an approachable environment in which
children can develop their speech and motor skills.
Treatment at the Child Development Center includes
occupational, physical, speech, and play therapy.

The UCSF Connie Frank Transplant Center’s design rec-
ognizes the ‘gift of life” and the incredible act of gen-
erosity when one donates their sacred organ to a loved
one. The Center is located on the 7th Floor of a 1960’s
Building that incorporates extraordinary views of the
Golden Gate Bridge and Downtown San Francisco.
The Center was conceived to provide comprehensive
patient services fro kidney transplant in a calm and
graceful environment.
