The existing Social Services Building was built in the 1960’s and is grossly inadequate today. On an annual basis the Board of Social Services sees approximately 40,000 people. The current facility on High Street is well beyond its capacity and has exceeded its useful life. In order to best serve the community and implement long term facility life cycle improvements, the County has embarked on the design of a new Board of Social Services Building.

The new SCBSSB will be located adjacent to the current facility and stand at 3 stories of approximately 42,500 SF with a floor plate of approximately 13,000 SF. Once the new building is complete, the old building will be demolished and that site will become a parking lot.
