At the Springfield Masonic Community, RDL Architects was tasked with development of a master plan that would reposition the aging campus to meet the current market. The challenge was how to right-size existing components and expand housing options while maximizing reuse of historic structures. The final master plan included the conversion of the historic Rickley and York-rite buildings from skilled care to up to 100 units of Independent Living. Skilled care would be relocated to a new 2-story, household-style building, allowing for construction of a new 3-story Assisted Living and Memory Care, while 3 “Brownstone” apartment buildings introduce an additional housing option.
