At Clark, we believe in building more than just structures; we lay the foundations upon which our clients create better futures for our communities. From constructing training facilities that expand careers for military veterans in California, to creating a safe haven for Atlanta residents emerging from poverty, and revitalizing a historic Maryland campus into a vibrant haven for children facing serious illness, our work is deeply rooted in advancing the crucial initiatives these projects are built to serve.

For 26 years, City of Refuge has been a vital force for good in Westside Atlanta. Their new 37,000-square-foot Transformation Center will further advance their mission of helping individuals and families transition out of crisis by empowering them with resources for self-sufficiency. Delivering in the fall of 2025, this facility will support a wide range of programming, including health and wellness, housing, job training, and youth development, and feature 25 affordable housing units, a clinic, credit union, and fresh food market.

Junior League El Paso New Headquarters  

We recently delivered the new headquarters for the Junior League of El Paso in El Paso, Texas. For over 90 years, the Junior League of El Paso has championed women’s leadership through volunteerism, personal and professional training, and community development. The new headquarters provides administrative and meeting areas and a spacious event hall, helping to expand their diverse programming and events.

In February, the Clark team began construction on The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp Mid-Atlantic, Phase One, the camp's newest facility in Queenstown, Maryland. The camp will offer children and families affected by serious illness a “different kind of healing” that moves beyond clinical settings, entirely free of charge. Including activities like archery and arts and crafts, the camp emphasizes the magic of traditional summer camp through year-round programming. The new Maryland location will feature an infirmary, family guestroom suites, a dining hall, and various multipurpose spaces. Slated for completion in fall 2025, the camp anticipates welcoming its first campers for summer camp in 2026.

The new Veterans Advanced Manufacturing Facility in San Diego, California, is nearing completion, embodying Workshop for Warriors' mission to "rebuild American manufacturing one veteran at a time." This 24,000-square-foot center will offer military veterans a direct path to civilian manufacturing careers through an advanced workshop and classrooms. Training will cover essential skills like computer numerical control machining and 3D printing, which contribute to a remarkable 96% job placement rate. The facility will welcome its first classes this fall.

Each of these projects underscores Clark's dedication to building with a deeper purpose. We are honored to support our community partners by constructing the spaces that will be instrumental in their profound and impactful work for years to come.
