Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. has been named project manager by The Home for Little Wanderers for its new Children and Family Center at 161 South Huntington Ave. The project team consists of the architectural firm Einhorn Yaffee Prescott Architecture & Engineering P.C. and construction manager Suffolk Construction.
The 71,000 s/f multi-building campus on 3.5 acres, which is in the design and zoning permitting stages, will feature a new Children and Family Center to accommodate The Home's community-based services. The facilities will address some deficiencies with the existing buildings on the Jamaica Plain campus. The plans include a residence for forty children, an elementary school, gymnasium, cafeteria and a community services building.
"One of The Home's top priorities is to create a new campus where children, and their families, will continue to receive the best possible care in a comfortable and nurturing setting, said John Hailer, chairman of the board of trustees for The Home for Little Wanderers. We are delighted to partner with JLL, Einhorn Yaffee Prescott Architecture & Engineering and Suffolk, who will make this vision possible. Their leadership, with support from our neighbors, is invaluable as we bring The Home for Little Wanderers, which has been a fixture in Boston's landscape for generations, into a new phase for future generations." .
According to JLL project manager Jim McCaffery: "We are pleased and honored to be working with The Home for Little Wanderers to direct the process of replacing the facilities at the Jamaica Plain campus. By working closely with The Home's senior staff and Real Estate subcommittee of the Board of Trustees, we have assembled a talented team of consultants to help us advance the project, including our architect Einhorn Yaffee Prescott and construction manager Suffolk."
