Abstract
Tekoa Boys’ Home is a recently constructed facility in Christiansburg, Virginia that provides licensed residential treatment, counseling, and special education to at-risk boys aged 12-17, in need of out-of-the-home placement. The twenty-bed home, situated on fifteen acres, provides a nurturing living environment integrating the boys into all aspects of daily programming. The aim for the Tekoa Boys’ Residential Campus is to be a calm, peaceful place for its residents to overcome their emotional, psychological and social challenges.
The Community Design Assistance Center provided the Tekoa Boys’ Home with landscape designs for key areas on the site.
