Project Spotlight

Otterbein SeniorLife

AVID Architects is working with Otterbein SeniorLife to expand multiple senior living communities across Ohio and Indiana, supporting the organization’s vision for vibrant, resident-centered environments. What began in 2023 as the development of a flexible prototype has evolved into a growing partnership spanning five campuses, including new duplex senior residences, independent living and assisted living buildings, and community gathering spaces.

Our in-house architecture and MEP engineering teams work closely with Otterbein, the construction manager, and external engineers to adapt the design to each site’s unique conditions. From navigating steep grades and strict zoning requirements to planning independent living buildings that can seamlessly transition to assisted living in the future, AVID helps ensure each project balances thoughtful design, operational flexibility, and long-term value.

Quick Facts

Duplex Residences: 58 units built, 78 designed, and 218+ planned in future phases

Designing spaces that support wellness and independence.
