The Bridges Program includes a variety of special education transition services with an emphasis on community based instruction for young adults, aged 18-22. The previous program was housed within one of the district's high schools, which limited the services that the district was able to provide. Niles THSD worked with Studio GC to create a new Adult Transition Center that gives the young adult learners a space that is truly their own. The new center for the students was designed with their needs in mind as every decision was made. From the overall layout, to the acoustics and lighting, and the finishes and color palette, the Bridges staff, Administration and the Studio GC design team ensured that inclusivity and student agency were celebrated.
