JCCA Headquarters

At AtW we believe space matters, and that delivering quality environments supports outcomes such as staff retention and organizational sustainability. That is why JCCA, a legacy New York institution that has provided child welfare and mental health services to vulnerable children and families for more than 200 years, selected us to actualize their next generation of spaces through the development of a new Bronx headquarters.

Working within a limited budget and with a landlord supplied contractor, the project team successfully redefined what program and workspace should be for the JCCA community. Careful coordination of design, budget, and schedule ensured the new facility reflects the organization’s values while providing a modern and welcoming environment for staff and clients.

We aligned lease obligations, construction milestones, and cost parameters while streamlining communication among landlords, contractors, and JCCA stakeholders. Our role also included integrating specialized program spaces and managing vendors such as IT, security, and audiovisual consultants to deliver a seamless and functional headquarters.

The successful completion of this project gave JCCA a thoughtful, user-friendly space that strengthens its mission and enhances its ability to serve children and families across New York.
