The Whiting Place

The Whiting Residence for Memory Care is a memory care facility that will be part of an overall senior living apartment complex. The primary purpose is to provide a comfortable living environment for seniors (65 and above) who have early-middle stages of Alzheimer’s disease. The goal of the facility is to create a village-like atmosphere and will contain several different types of spaces serving multiple functions and uses for the residents, staff, and visitors.
The Whiting Place is located in downtown Stevens Point, WI. The historic building, formerly the Hotel Whiting, is currently a residential apartment complex with commercial spaces.
For this project, we were tasked to redesign the first floor, second floor, and basement with listed rooms the client wanted. The first floor and basement had a cafe, restaurant, kitchen, gallery, library, village store, worship space, office(s), conference room, nurse’s office, home theater, recreational activity area, and bathrooms. The second floor had bedrooms, a family room, a dining space, a kitchen, laundry, mechanical, and a nurse’s office.
