UTAH STATE DEVELOPMENT CENTER (http://usdc.utah.gov/)
Sitting on 250 beautiful acres the campus is located at the mouth of American Fork Canyon along the foothills of Utah’s Wasatch Mountains in the city of American Fork. The Developmental Center was established in 1932 under the direction of then Governor Dern. Most of the original buildings have been replaced with more modern state of the art facilities. Citizens are served from across the entire state of Utah under the direction of the Utah Department of Human Services and the Division of Services for People with Disabilities. The Utah State Developmental Center provides 24-hour residential care and is Utah’s only State-operated intermediate care facility for people with intellectual disabilities. The Center offers intensive medical, behavioral, psychological and dental services to those over the age of 18. Admissions are limited and require an intensive screening process. The USDC Mission is "dedicated to providing an array of resources and supports for people with disabilities with complex or acute needs in Utah” The Developmental Center serves as a resource for the entire State of Utah. As other providers in the State of Utah struggle to provide care for individuals with complex emotional, medical and behavioral issues USDC is in the unique position of providing most of the essential services needed in a single location. The Utah State Developmental Center takes great pride in serving the most vulnerable citizens of Utah. Over 700 professional and support staff engage in the care and treatment of individuals with intellectual disabilities. Medical care and nursing is available 24 hours a day. Various therapies such as Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Recreation Therapy and counseling are all located in one spot. This team of providers in conjunction with family and friends work to provide the most independence possible in a safe environment for everyone who lives here.
UTAH STATE DEVELOPMENT CENTER CLIENT
95% of the Utah State Developmental Center is an adult population. The majority of which reside in the residential buildings of Quailrun, Oakridge, Raintree and Willowcreek. The Center also has four twin homes that have eight to ten additional clients. Clients each live in an apartment with four to six others near their same developmental level. With staff help, clients shop for groceries, cook meals, and clean rooms and living areas. Direct Care Staff provide the day to day training for each individual.
Many of the clients attend a day program located on campus. Here they work, receive a training wage and learn needed skills. Some examples of work offered are papermaking, paper shredding and sorting, box pick-up, box bailing, ceramics, making piñatas’, packaging, delivery of mail and warehouse supplies, greenhouse work, food preparation and serving at the Cottage Café. We have some clients who have learned the skills necessary to hold an off campus job.
Each client has a treatment team that will write, train and implement their individualized program. A QIDP (Qualified Intellectual Disabilities Professional) or Team Leader coordinates and monitors each client’s program. Other professionals on the team may include RN, Behavioral Specialist, Licensed Social Worker, Physical and Occupational Therapist, Dietitian, Dentist, Medical Doctor, Psychiatrist, Neurologist, and Podiatrist.
The Utah State Developmental Center receives the majority of its funding from Title 19. Each client has an Active Treatment program. Continuous teaching/training is required throughout his/her working day. A typical day consist of showering, dressing, medication administrations, mealtimes, grooming, day program, leisure activity, evening snack and bedtime.
The Center’s goal for each client is to achieve levels of independence, with behavioral and medical stability to return back to a community residential setting. Many clients have successfully moved to group homes closer to family members with very few returning.
THE ADMISSIONS AND SAFE-HOUSING BUILDING
The new Utah State Developmental Center Admissions and Safe Housing building has been designed as a durable housing facility serving people with developmental disabilities. It is located at 895 North 900 East in American Fork, Utah. The building will be approximately 22,592 square feet and will be constructed as a 1-story building. The building has three residential pods that will house 30 residents, with accommodations for a future fourth pod to accommodate 10 additional residents. The central core of the building contains the administrative functions that support the entire facility including spaces for admissions, assessment, office and support.
The Utah State Developmental Center will be pursuing a Nursing Care Facility License Type ICF/MR which requires the building to be designed as an I-2 Occupancy Classification. The entire building will be designed as Type IIB Construction. Due to the sensitive nature of the residents this building is designed for, it will be designed under the requirements of the Utah Administrative Code ruling R432-7 Psychiatric Hospital Construction.
The building's interior and exterior finishes have been selected with the need for high durability and ability to withstand abuse. The exterior of the building is brick, concrete masonry and metal panel. The interior of the building is concrete masonry at the residential pods, and gypsum board at the areas where residents will be escorted. All resident access areas are designed with safety at the forefront and include specially designed door hardware, plumbing fixtures, etc. The design team was challenged to design a highly durable institutional environment that feels welcoming, highly functional and aesthetically pleasing.
THE SITE AND LANDSCAPE
The existing campus includes large expanses of turf and mature trees. The Admissions and Safe Housing Building is located on an expanse of turf nestled among some mature trees. The main entrance to the building is located facing the intersection of 900 North and 800 East. While the driveway entrance has some slope, the building site is relatively flat.
The landscape concept is to provide an aesthetically pleasing, landscape that complements the surrounding Developmental Center Campus and meets the needs of the User. The user has indicated that due to the individuals that they serve, shrubs, ground covers, and mulches cannot be used around this building.
The basis of the design is to protect and maintain as many large trees as possible while planting the edges of the building with new turf, thereby linking the building with the existing expanse of lawn that dominates the campus. Overhead spray and rotor irrigation systems will be utilized in these areas, with water provided from existing irrigation systems. Each dormitory pod has a small outdoor recreation area that includes turf grass, which will also utilize similar irrigation systems as the other lawn areas.
AMERICAN FORK, UTAH and SURROUNDING AREA
The area around Utah Lake was used as a seasonal hunting and fishing ground by the Ute Indians. American Fork was settled in 1850 by Mormon pioneers, and incorporated as Lake City in 1852. The first settlers of American Fork lived in scattered conditions along the American Fork River. By the 1850s, tension between the settlers and Native Americans was increasing. In 1853, Daniel H. Wells, the head of the Nauvoo Legion (the Utah Territorial Militia at the time), instructed settlers to move into specific forts. At a meeting on July 23, 1853 at the schoolhouse in American Fork, Lorenzo Snow and Parley P. Pratt convinced the settlers to follow Wells' directions and all move together into a central fort. A fort was built of 37 acres (150,000 m2) to which the settlers located. Only parts of the wall were built to eight feet high, and none were built to the original plan of twelve feet high.
Settlers changed the name from Lake City to American Fork in 1860. It was renamed after the American Fork River which runs through the city, as well as to avoid confusion with Salt Lake City. Most residents were farmers and merchants during its early history. By the 1860s, American Fork had established a public school, making it the first community in the territory of Utah to offer public education to its citizens. In the 1870s, American Fork served as a rail access point for mining activities in American Fork Canyon. For several decades in the 1900s, raising chickens (and eggs) was an important industry in the city. During World War II the town population expanded when the Columbia Steel plant was built. An annual summer celebration in the city is still called "Steel Days" in honor of the economic importance of the mill, which closed in November 2001. The steel mill was located approximately six miles (10 km) southeast from town, on land on the east shore of Utah Lake.
