CONTEXT

The Esther Residence is a 100-year-old home and former convent in Saco that most recently operated as a nine-bed transitional living facility. Saint Andre Home recently acquired the property from its founding Sisters, and the building is now unoccupied, with plans to renovate it into a facility of approximately 15 beds. As part of Saint Andre Home’s due diligence, fig.19 is assessing the existing building conditions, documenting the facility, and analyzing the proposed program requirements. This work will give the team a clear picture of what the building can support, so decisions about its next chapter rest on a solid understanding of both the structure and the people it will serve.
