The Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts project consists of demolition of an existing 40’x200’ seasonal ceramics studio and construction of a 7300 square foot state-of-the-art year-round facility in its place. The new studio is a combination of wood and steel framing with a focus on use of low maintenance materials.

This $6 Million Addition and Renovation to the Central Lincoln County YMCA houses a new main entrance and lobby, wellness area, teaching kitchen, and locker rooms in the addition. The renovated portion of the project includes upgrades to the existing gymnasium, including an elevated track.

The Roundtop Farm project consisted of a $1.8 Million Addition and Renovation to Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust administration building. The rehabilitated antique farmhouse house includes the corporate offices, records storage, and education program for the Trust.

This project has been an on-going multi-phased process that involves converting an antique farmhouse into a key centerpiece of a larger elder interdependent living community. The master plan for this property includes multiple elder housing cottages, respite cottages, and a large function space in the original milking shed and barn.

In April 2025, JFSCC mobilized to facilitate interior renovations at the Boothbay Region YMCA’s Child Enrichment Center and Harbor Montessori School, for children between 6 weeks and 5 years old. Interior improvements included the addition of a sprinkler system, new storefront windows and doors, heat pumps in every classroom, new cabinetry, and refreshed finishes (ACT, paint, flooring). Outside, the project added new metal siding, a larger canopy between buildings, concrete sidewalks, and a bigger, repaved parking lot. Generators for the school and main facility were upgraded to meet current needs. JFSCC’s superintendent established a strong, communicative relationship with YMCA staff to ensure the playground and Annex remained accessible throughout the project for childcare (temporarily relocated to the main facility), after school activities, and summer camp.

The Commons project was the second build for Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts in as many years. The work consisted of demolition of Thompson Hall, a repurposed chicken nursery that served as a campus dormitory, dining hall, and kitchen. The Commons was built in its place providing the campus with a new 3,900sf climate controlled ADA accessible dining hall, commercial kitchen, and an ADA accessible guest suite. The Commons consists of wood framing, low maintenance materials, and was completed in one winter to be ready to serve the busy summer season.
