Posen Architects was awarded a project funded by the NYS Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse and Camelot Counseling Centers.  The project manager was The Dormitory of the State of New York. The programmatic goal was to repurpose a historic landmark  to provide housing for 45 male residents and administrative offices for the operation of the rehabilitation facility. The structure, constructed in 1917, is currently on the New York State Register of Historic Places and is located within the Seaview Hospital Historic District.  The project required approval from the NYC Landmarks Commission as well as the NYC Planning Commission. Renovations included new interior finishes, new mechanical, electrical and fire protection systems, new windows, doors and elevator, repairs to the exterior and an expanded parking area in the front.
