The exterior design integrates thin brick cladding on precast concrete walls, complementing the architectural character of the campus, where five buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Physically connected to the recently constructed Building 19, the new facility benefits from shared public spaces, improved accessibility, and centralized administrative functions.

Resident floors are structured into two "neighborhoods," each housing 15–17 residents, following a Person-Centered Care model that fosters community and individualized support. Each floor includes neighborhood dining areas, encouraging social interaction and staff engagement. Every spacious resident room features a private, fully accessible bathroom, ensuring comfort and dignity. Lounge and activity spaces are available throughout, providing residents and visitors with welcoming areas for relaxation and connection.
