Gwinnett County government will construct a 78,8000 square foot, three-story building on Grayson Highway in Lawrenceville focusing on Human Services.
This first-of-its-kind facility for Gwinnett will be located on the same site as the new Gwinnett County Records Management and Storage Facility at 1050 Grayson Highway in Lawrenceville. The building will be at the former Ingles location. Construction is set to begin in January 2025.
This will be a OneStop center to serve as the central hub for the county’s human services and offer community resources, including veteran and family services, workforce development programs and other community and partner spaces for classes and training. It will also be the command center for the county’s Community Navigator Team.
In a partnership with View Point Health, OneStop Gwinnett will address the county’s growing need for mental and behavioral health services. The facility will feature a 30-bed inpatient stabilization unit and a 23-hour temporary observation day center capable of accommodating up to 15 individuals.
Gwinnett County Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson said after years of intentional planning and strategic alignment with the board’s priorities, she expects the facility to have a significant impact.
View Point Health CEO Jennifer Hibbard says: “View Point Health is grateful for the opportunity to locate services in the Gwinnett County OneStop in Lawrenceville. This will be the first-ever behavioral health crisis center with 24/7 access to care in Gwinnett County as well as an outpatient clinic and administrative offices.”
Commissioners awarded a contract for $35 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds to Reeves Young, LLC of Sugar Hill for the construction of the facility.
