D.A. Blodgett – St. John’s Integrated Campus
D.A. Blodgett – St. John’s (DABSJ) new building serves as the campus cornerstone, integrating services that were previously at three separate locations, Leonard, Knapp, and Fuller, under one roof — an intentional move to improve outcomes for the nearly 7,000 children and families the agency serves annually. The integrated campus features expanded programming space, administrative offices, and educational and wellness space, including a health clinic, family visit rooms, youth café, activities center, school classrooms, meeting rooms, and counseling rooms.
