“Design Intent Architects did a very thorough job of researching the design, and made several on-site visits to other existing facilities in the area to provide a design that is not only very functional, but unique in appearance. It is also a design that combines the safety with an atmosphere that is conducive to the treatment component of our program. We have received many compliments regarding this. Design Intent Architects also did a fine job of assisting with the construction of the building, as they worked closely with us and the contractors to see the building through to its completion.”
