SWBR Architects completes $5.2 million Rockwood Center; development of 43,006 s/f of 40 affordable senior apartments

SWBR Architects, a Rochester, N.Y.-based firm, has completed the independent senior living community, Rockwood Center. The $5.2 million project included the development of 43,006 s/f of 40 affordable senior apartments with associated resident common areas. It is located at 3833 East Henrietta Rd. Rockwood Center is part of Episcopal SeniorLife Communities and is adjacent to its existing Brentland Woods Assisted Living Community. It was named after Rockwood Jenkins, a former administrator for The Episcopal Church Home, which is owned by Episcopal SeniorLife Communities. Rockwood Center features 40 apartments in its two-story building, with an elevator. Apartment amenities include full kitchens, including stove, range and refrigerator and more. SWBR was responsible for the architectural design services for the project. It was completed in September 2013. "This independent senior living community is another great resource for those living in this area looking for an affordable senior living option," said E. Joseph Gibbons II, project manager and principal of SWBR. "We had a successful grand opening of Rockwood Center and we're eager to see the impact this will have on the lives of those who reside there."
