This new 50,000 sf out-of-the-ground building in the Bronx is operated by VIP Community Services, Inc., a local provider of substance abuse and alcohol treatment services. Funded by the NYS Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS), the outpatient facility includes Article 28 and Article 31 programs, an outpatient methadone and chemical dependency clinic, methadone counseling, and administration spaces. The exterior materials selected by Posen Architects—a lightweight base of translucent glass and brick contrasted by modern zinc panels—emphasize the history and revitalization of the neighborhood.
