Exalt Youth Headquarters
Delivering Exalt Youth a New Home Overlooking Battery Park
We led the search and delivery of a new home for the New York City non-profit, Exalt Youth, which has been providing opportunities for young people involved in the justice system for over a decade.
The goal of the project was to create a space that was a welcoming home, to help Exalt’s students rediscover a love for learning and to find empowerment outside of their lives in the criminal justice system.
This this intent at the center of decision making, we developed the 5,000-sq ft space, a modern office and classroom hub for students to learn and grow. Overlooking Battery Park, it includes classrooms, communal desks, a library-lounge, meeting rooms, and offices. We also led a 3,000-sq ft expansion to connect important educational, communal, and office spaces.
The nature of Exalt Youth’s work means that budgets and schedules are tight, and we were thrilled to successfully deliver their new headquarters that allows the nonprofit to triple the number of young people they can help in the next three years.
