With an impressive array of dignitaries present, Moosehaven on Oct. 19 formally dedicated the Moosehaven Centennial Building, the largest celebration to-date as the three-year project continues.
The Centennial Project also includes conversion of Vivian Borom Hall to the Vivian Borom Activity Center as well as a new parking area for bicycles and tricycles. The Centennial Building is the centerpiece of the $10 million project, and its estimated cost is $9.7 million. The entire project is set to be completed in 2019.
Construction on the Centennial Building continues. Move-in of residents will begin following completion. Among improvements to Moosehaven residents’ living experiences in the new building are:
- Larger apartments with individual outdoor spaces and fully-compliant Americans With Disabilities Act bathrooms.
- Wider hallways to accommodate indoor scooters, including power chair parking.
- Improved technology and two-way nurse call communications.
- A centralized dining hall and adjacent kitchen.
