Maine Veterans’ Home – Bangor, ME

For the Maine Veterans’ Homes in Bangor, Gawron Turgeon Architects, P.C. is designing three building additions, a complete renovation to Unit C and new outdoor spaces. These renovations (under construction) are part of the client’s commitment to provide the best care for their residents.

GTA’s concept for the new work is based on healing, wellness and return-to-home. The new look will have the appearance of an upscale hotel with many modern conveniences and exciting, new features within the design. The design includes a residential kitchen where all meals are prepared by an experienced cook; families will be able to watch from two, new dining areas while their made-to-order meals are prepared.

The renovated space will provide updated resident rooms with tasteful new furniture, new comfortable living rooms, a recreational room designed to unite residents for fun activities, a three-season porch and new staff areas. The design also includes wonderful new outdoor spaces and landscape architecture including a central patio with a covered porch, a warming fire pit and a connection to the trail system for relaxing afternoon strolls.
