Care to Learn | New Headquarters in Springfield, Missouri

Designed for Care to Learn, this project transforms a 20,000+ square foot building into a headquarters that supports the organization’s growing mission. The renovated space serves as a central hub for administrative and chapter services while expanding their capacity to serve students in need.

The facility includes dedicated office areas, warehouse space, and a flexible volunteer hub designed for assembling care packages and hosting hands-on service activities. A volunteer kitchen and outdoor courtyard further enhance the space, creating opportunities for events, collaboration, and community engagement.

By blending functionality, flexibility, and purpose, this new headquarters strengthens Care to Learn’s ability to meet students’ essential health, hunger, and hygiene needs. This new headquarters will fit in by supporting both their mission and the communities they serve.

Working with the Springfield-Greene County Library District and the dedicated team at the Republic Branch to bring this facility to life was a dream! Go check it out if you get a chance — we bet you'll find a few reasons to come back!
