Our mission keeps us looking for ways to improve our space and processes \u2013 global pandemic or not.<\/p>\n<p>Working with AMDG Architects and Erhardt Construction, we began planning a project in the fall of 2019 to further enhance our screening process: enclosing the covered area just in front of our current entry way, adding approximately 300 square feet to our screening area. The expansion provides an extra layer of protection for our members, accommodates our growth in membership, reduces congestion in our entryway and has the added bonus of helping us better adhere to physical distancing. Thankfully, we were able to fast-track the project last spring in the midst of COVID-19 as we were considered an essential service.<\/p>\n\t<div id=\"gap-1927984192\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1927984192 {\n  padding-top: 10px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_253166279\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/childrenshealing.org\/beta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/IMG_1478-768x512-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/childrenshealing.org\/beta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/IMG_1478-768x512-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/childrenshealing.org\/beta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/IMG_1478-768x512-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/childrenshealing.org\/beta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/IMG_1478-768x512-1-510x340.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_253166279 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-1007741805\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1007741805 {\n  padding-top: 15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-9137371\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-9137371 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>Construction began last April during the Stay Home, Stay Safe executive order. The project became a reality in part thanks to the Commercial Alliance of Realtors and Pridgeon &amp; Clay, which raised funds for us to enclose the area, as well as in-kind help from AMDG, Erhardt, Dixon Interior Design and many generous subcontractors.<\/p>\n<p>We were ahead of the curve when it comes to screening and use top-notch equipment to evaluate the health of those entering the Center, including taking temperature, answering health questions, wiping bottoms of shoes and washing hands thoroughly. What makes this new area such a wonderful enhancement in the protection of our members\u2019 health, however, is its separation from the main building. Completely self-contained, this entryway includes its own doors and HVAC system, further strengthening our anti-germ protocols.<\/p>\n\t<div id=\"gap-118343825\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-118343825 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1077531293\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-cover dark\" style=\"padding-top:450px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/childrenshealing.org\/beta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/IMG_1502-768x512-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/childrenshealing.org\/beta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/IMG_1502-768x512-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/childrenshealing.org\/beta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/IMG_1502-768x512-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/childrenshealing.org\/beta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/IMG_1502-768x512-1-510x340.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1077531293 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-1995559614\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1995559614 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>\u201cWhat defines a truly great space goes far beyond layout and design,\u201d said Amanda Barbour, executive director of the Center. \u201cIts purpose, functionality and in our case, the security it brings are unmatched.
