Building on a Heritage of Hope and Healing

Heritage
Founded in 1853 by the Methodist Episcopal Church, Chaddock’s ministry is rooted in Judeo-Christian heritage and Wesleyan tradition. Through nearly 150 years of successful existence, Chaddock’s stewardship commitment to its heritage and tradition has been a key factor in meeting the organization’s goal of offering hope and healing to needy children and their families. Building on that heritage, as the needs of children and families have changed over the years, Chaddock has responded. In many cases, that has meant adapting buildings on Chaddock’s 32-acre campus to meet very different needs. Some of these buildings have been adapted, and well-used, for nearly 100 years.

Commitment
There comes a point in time, however, where our stewardship commitment to provide efficient, effective programming to maintain our rich heritage for quality services, prompts us to acknowledge, the time for major facilities construction is now.

A two-year organizational study, led by highly experienced campus planning professionals, has been completed. The resulting vision for Chaddock’s campus was developed by drawing on the wisdom and compassionate concern of both those who serve Chaddock children, and those who entrust us to provide hope and healing for these most vulnerable young people.

Vision
Our vision for ministering to children and families, today and in the future, revolves around serving those with the greatest need for hope and healing in the heart of our campus. By locating their living quarters, school, cafeteria, recreational areas, chapel and access to clinical services in close proximity to each other, Chaddock can provide a safe haven where these young people can begin to address the exceptional challenges before them surrounded by the care and concern of those best able to help them reach their goals.

Chaddock’s master facility plan proposes extensive renovation of some of the current buildings, demolition of antiquated facilities, and the construction of a new education center, a kitchen and dining hall, two treatment residences, a maintenance facility and a Center for Family Development to meet the needs of families in the community. The architectural design of the buildings will be in keeping with the historical style of the neighborhood, with an emphasis on the Prairie style. Sustainable concepts have been incorporated into construction and landscaping plans.

Chaddock’s volunteer leadership and staff respect and honor Chaddock’s heritage. We are committed to meeting the needs of children and families for another 150 years. And, we believe our vision for the campus will allow us to best serve the lives that are being entrusted to us. Won’t you please join us in our commitment to build on a heritage of hope and healing?

The First Step: Building the Therapeutic Heart of the Campus
Education: There is simply not enough room in the current school to serve all the campus and community-based students who could benefit from Chaddock’s special education programs. The proposed educationalcenter provides the flexibility to respond to changing educational needs, and establishes the program hub for all campus services. The Educational Center, which includes a new school, kitchen, dining hall, and training/conference rooms, will be adjacent to recreational and clinical facilities enabling students to have their needs met in the most efficient, effective manner.

• New Education Center*
• Library*
• New Kitchen*
• New Dining Hall*
• Training/Conference Rooms*
• Renovate Pool and Gym - COMPLETED

Campus Housing: Because of the exceptional needs of the young people served through Chaddock’s Residential Treatment programs, their living spaces have to provide maximum flexibility while meeting ever-increasing safety and security standards which cannot be efficiently accommodated in the current campus living environments. Along with safety and security, however, Chaddock is also committed to ensuring that our young people experience a nurturing environment that fosters a sense of stewardship of our natural surroundings.

• Second New Treatment Residence
• Independent Living Residence Modifications

The Second Step: The Vision Unfolds
Programs and Services: While the therapeutic heart of the campus provides the stable, secure environment required to meet Chaddock children’s most basic needs, additional programs and services are needed to provide the comprehensive care which gives these young people the best opportunity for ultimate self-sufficiency. Chaddock’s Center for Family Development will also be moved to the campus to offer a more efficient range of supportive services for children and families who live in the community.

• Campus Maintenance Facility*
• Renovate Current School for Clinical Services
• Renovate Appuhn Cottage for Work Study
• Center for Family Development
• Renovate Administration Facility

Site Work: As good stewards of our campus for nearly 150 years, the Chaddock team has had a vision for the future continues a deep commitment to respecting our environment, including enhancement of the site to ensure that it remains a safe and secure, yet warm and nurturing environment that fosters human growth and development.

• Site Preparation (buildings and grounds)
• Campus Accessability (ADA)
• Campus Lighting
• Landscaping/Environmental Plantings

* These components of Chaddock’s Master Facility plan will be implemented contingent on priority and funds acquired. Items denoted by an asterick are projects identified for completion in Phase I.
