World Wide Village Headquarters
Saint Paul Minnesota

World Wide Village is a faith-based 501c3 non-profit charitable organization dedicated to improving the lives of children and families in poverty-stricken Haiti by creating vital safe communities. Committed to conscious financial responsibility, the organization needed their new 2,200 square foot office headquarters to be functional, yet represent their inclusive focus on community without significant expense. By preserving most of the existing non-structural components, utilizing reused office furniture, and obtaining 85% of construction materials though salvage, recycling or donation, Glenhurst kept operational development costs to a minimum. The result is an inviting and practical office environment that reflects World Wide Village’s vision and melds with the surrounding East Saint Paul community.
