The Krueger Group undertook the renovation of the former St. Colman School building, transforming it into a sober living community for The Edna House for Women. The extensive renovation project included both exterior and interior upgrades, including the following:

  • The replacement of 60 windows on the second floor for improved energy efficiency and natural light.
  • Modernization of mechanical systems, including the installation of a comprehensive fire suppression system throughout the entire building.
  • The addition of an exterior ramp to provide handicap access to the first floor of the building.

Upon completion, the second floor now offers:

  • 10 private bedrooms designed for comfort and privacy.
  • 4 kitchenettes for resident convenience.
  • A communal lounge, laundry room, and kitchen, fostering a sense of community and shared space.
  • A communal bathroom with 3 stall showers, ensuring accessibility and comfort for all residents.

On the first floor, the space includes:

  • A yoga and exercise studio with full-length mirrors to support wellness and physical activity.
  • An executive conference room for meetings and events.
  • 2 support group rooms, providing spaces for healing and community engagement.
