With staff and residents moved into the new Academy Place building, it’s important that you know that removal of the former Residential Treatment Center building (Lathrop Cottage) will begin tomorrow, July 24, 2020. The demolition project is expected to take several weeks, with the major work being completed on the first day. There will be noise and vibrations throughout the day, however, dust will be contained within the site as required by regulation. 

When demolition is concluded, our contractors will build the previously announced new parking lot and complete site work, landscaping, and beautification efforts. The construction gate will remain closed for the duration of the project, which has an estimated completion date of October 1.

We encourage you to follow the project progress at https://www.northernrivers.org/campus-updates. If you have questions or concerns, please contact 518.429.4459 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
