The County of Orange OC Cares: Justice, Prevention, Intervention initiative identified the need for the development of a first-of-its-kind Workforce Reentry Center, a 4.6-acre campus designed to help justice-involved individuals transition into stable housing and access meaningful employment.
HIRE is Orange County's leading reentry workforce organization, connecting justice-involved individuals with job training, case management, and employment pathways. As the center's engagement partner, HIRE will operate programming that turns the campus into a true launchpad for reentry success.
A joint venture combining the public-private partnership expertise of Griffin Structures and the construction leadership of Swinerton Builders, Griffin Swinerton was selected through a competitive County process to develop and deliver the Workforce Reentry Center, building on their long track record with Orange County civic projects.
A 100% employee-owned construction company with a legacy stretching back to 1888, Swinerton Builders is serving as general contractor on the project, bringing the same trusted craftsmanship and construction management that delivered the County of Orange's landmark Civic Center complex.
Founded in 1965 and recognized with the AIA California Firm Award, LPA Design Studios is the integrated design partner for the project, bringing together in-house architects, engineers, interior designers, and landscape architects to design a campus built for purpose, sustainability, and community impact.
