The 71,000 square foot multi-building campus on 3.5 acres, which is currently in the design and zoning permitting stages, will feature a new state-of-the-art Children and Family Center to accommodate The Home’s extensive community-based services. The new facilities will address some long-standing deficiencies with the existing buildings on the Jamaica Plain campus. The plans include a residence for forty children, an elementary school, a gymnasium, a cafeteria, and a community services building.

One of The Home’s top priorities is to create a new state-of-the-art campus where children, and their families, will continue to receive the best possible care in a comfortable and nurturing setting, said John Hailer, Chairman of the Board of Trustees for The Home for Little Wanderers. We are delighted to partner with Jones Lang LaSalle, Einhorn Yaffee Prescott Architecture & Engineering and Suffolk Construction, who will make this vision possible. Their leadership, with support from our neighbors, is invaluable as we bring The Home for Little Wanderers, which has been a fixture in Boston’s landscape for generations, into a new phase for future generations." Mr. Hailer is the President and CEO of Natixis Global Asset Management, US and Asia.

According to Jones Lang LaSalle Project Manager Jim McCaffery: "We are pleased and honored to be working with The Home for Little Wanderers to direct the process of replacing the facilities at the Jamaica Plain campus. By working closely with The Home’s senior staff and Real Estate subcommittee of the Board of Trustees, we have assembled a talented team of consultants to help us advance the project, including our architect Einhorn Yaffee Prescott and construction manager Suffolk Construction."
