CONTINUING CARE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY
Rockwood at Whitworth Spokane, Wash.
Submitted by: RDG Planning & Design St. Louis
Rockwood at Whitworth, a two-phased new construction
project, aimed to seamlessly connect
all levels of care on its 8-acre campus. Already
serving 95 residents, Rockwood understood the
need to expand and support the growing elderly
population of North Spokane by providing 117
independent living units, 48 assisted living units,
and 24 memory care units, along with 30,000 square
feet of commons and staff areas. To revitalize the
campus, they also rebranded to acknowledge the
connection with Whitworth University to emphasize
the significance of intergenerational relationships.
The team focused first on constructing the supportive
living building, Palvella Glen. Upon completion,
residents were relocated to the new apartments
to proceed with the second phase-Northland, the
independent living and commons building.
The central commons and staffing areas serve as
a pivotal point between the buildings, streamlining
operations for Rockwood's staff and enhancing the
experience for residents. Inspired by hospitality design,
the main lobby and amenities blend open-plan
concepts with intimate, cozy seating arrangements.
Two dining venues, pub, billiards room, library, large
event center, and exercise facility are strategically
positioned around the central courtyard, fostering
a dynamic hub with engaging views and generous
natural light. Spaces like the theater, salon, and art
room activate residential areas, drawing in residents
and fostering increased engagement beyond what
the central common building offers.
