Project Overview
The New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH) is pursuing
a new Bronx Psychiatric Center which will be a LEED Silver certified
campus and will contain state of the art
facilities, more functional interconnectivity, and a
more compact campus for improved efficiencies all with the goal of
better providing mental health services to the public. The project is
being managed for the OMH by the Dormitory Authority State of New York (DASNY).
In addition to entirely new site characteristics and infrastructure the
project
consists of the following major building pieces:
-
A new 86 bed Children's facility
-
A new 96 bed Transitional Living Residence
-
A new 24 bed CRISIS Residence
-
A new 20 bed CRISIS Stabilization
-
48 bed Studio Residence (SRO)
-
A new 156 bed Adult facility
The new campus will be designed and constructed maintaining community
interests and with full MWBE compliance. The existing public features
will remain as unchanged as possible during the course of construction
and specifically the existing baseball fields near Waters Place will be
relocated.
Community participation will be strongly encouraged. The goal of the
project team is to maximize the community involvement and benefit, be it
from comments and suggestions or from new jobs and skills training.
