One of the top rehabilitation centers in the United States, RIC created the L.I.F.E. Center (Learning, Innovation, Family and Empowerment) as a comprehensive consumer resource dedicated to providing important information for people with disabilities.

Key design elements focused on creating a welcoming environment using curvilinear themes within a high-end bookstore setting. Engineering highlights include:

• Detailed and coordinated ductwork layout given limited ceiling space and desire for maximum ceiling height;
• Careful attention was paid to heating system design to deliver comfort with heating challenges posed by staff workstations adjacent to full height exterior glass;
• Specialized lighting design to match the wonderful interior spaces created by the architecture.
