NATIVE CHILD AND FAMILY SERVICES BUILDING CONNECTS THE CITY WITH NATURE

NATIVEBLDG1From the outside, it’s just another 1980’s-era office building.  But inside, Levitt Goodman Architects have created a welcoming oasis for urban aboriginals in the heart of TORONTO.  From its lush rooftop garden on down, the Native Child and Family Services project, 30 College Street, combines family, mental health and social services within a friendly natural environment.
