Prentiss Autism Center

Positive Education Program’s LEED Silver Prentiss Autism Center is a 33,000 square feet state-of-the-art learning and training facility serving the needs of students, and teachers from the entire metropolitan area. TKG, in addition to identifying and representing PEP in the site selection, acted as construction manager for this renovation of a former office building in Fairview Park.
