Operating since 1955, Linwood Center has become one of a few programs in the U.S. and Maryland offering lifelong services for individuals with autism, providing comprehensive education and residential programs under one umbrella. Curry Architects worked with Linwood Center to design a new school building with the capacity to serve 60 students ages 5 through 21. The design included traditional classroom space outfitted with the latest technologies, creating an environment for positive behavioral support and learning success. In addition, there are offices for administration and staff, learning labs that focus on life skills and vocational training, a library, a music room, and a gymnasium complete with an elevated running track.
