Village of Hope
This Design-Build project was part of a base closure project at the Tustin Marine Base. Once a Military Barracks Facility, the project consisted of converting housing for occupancy by homeless families and building new structures for dining and classrooms. The Village of Hope is a nationally recognized residential facility for homeless men, women and children. It is the most comprehensive facility of its kind in Orange County, California and serves as a national role model for the re-purposed use of closed military bases. Located on five acres of the former Marine Corps Air Base in Tustin, this complex consists of 150,000 s.f. of living and learning space.
