Project Description

The Whittier Street Health Center project involved the new construction of a six-story, 78,900 sq. ft. community health facility for the Whittier Street Health Center Committee, Inc. Whittier is a 75-year-old, nonprofit community health clinic in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston. The new facility replaces 33,000 square-feet of leased space in the same neighborhood and allows Whittier to serve a larger number of patients and expands the types of services offered. The project nearly doubles the size of Whittier’s clinical operations and includes complementary health services in partnership with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the Whittier Pharmacy and a physical therapy office.
