Tulsa Jewish Retirement & Health Center in Tulsa, Okla., recently celebrated the cutting of the ceremonial ribbon on recent renovations and several additions to its continuum of care community.
The two-and-a-half year project included the construction of the brand new Scott F. Zarrow Town Center, which will become the Tulsa intergenerational community’s new central gathering space, including an open floor plan with lobby, café, multipurpose room, and expansive views.
The design maximizes the reuse of existing building shells and systems while giving the overall community an inviting hospitality-focused look and environmentally sustainable features.
In addition to the Town Center, Tulsa Jewish also unveiled the newly renovated Comprehensive Care Center. Built in 1960, the old institutional layout was modified and a more resident-centered household model was deisgned.
The assisted living facility received a “head-to-toe” overhaul as well as new furnishings and interior design features. Sustainable additions include high-performance glazing, reflective roofing with deep overhangs and sunshades, and interior finishes that meet low-VOC specifications.
Perkins Eastman led the strategic plan, master plan, and design of the new Town Center for Tulsa Jewish, as well as the renovations for its neighboring buildings.
