Canterbury renovation

The Canterbury's executive director described the campus's 43-year history, residents' complaints about long hallways, and urged approval so the community can serve seniors for another 40 years.

The project architect explained the design shortens walking distances, creates a wellness hub, and that most grading simply fills in existing sunken courtyards.

The architect's associate detailed how the fill raises sunken terraces to give assisted-living residents outdoor access, and that no work touches the steep slopes or the former open-hazard area.
