41st and Compton Plaza

by Michelle Ramirez, B. Arch ’24

There is many people living in this community that should be offered a place to socialize, learn, and stay healthy. Healthcare, in general, is hard to find very close to home and there is not many green spaces nearby for the children. The plaza gives this community an outpatient clinic that is providing behavioral health, general health, and physical health. The plaza in the middle gives the community a space to wait for appointments, spend time with loved ones, exercise, or spend time at lunch. It also provides the community with retail good like a café, store, pharmacy, grocer, office space, and hair salon. In total, it will house 60 single residents and 20 units for pairs that are elderly. It also has a memory care facility in a more private location to take care of those with memory diagnosis. The public, clients, and residents are all encouraged to use this plaza to create multi-generation socialization.
