Anne Carlsen Center Completes Move to New Ballantyne Berg Campus

The Anne Carlsen Center is thrilled to announce the completion of its move to the new Anne Carlsen Center Ballantyne Berg Campus at 2200 20th St. SW, in Jamestown, ND. This state-of-the-art facility, spanning an impressive 110,000 square feet, now serves as the new home for Anne Carlsen's comprehensive array of educational services, outpatient therapies, residential care, and more.

The new Ballantyne Berg Campus’s residential space is specifically designed to cater to the needs of children and young adults with medically and behaviorally complex needs. Notably, residents now benefit from private rooms, facilitating easier access to specialized adaptive and medical equipment while fostering a homier, more independent atmosphere.

The Anne Carlsen Center for Learning, situated within the new campus, is poised to revolutionize educational outcomes for its students. With flexible learning spaces designed specifically for each student and updated classroom infrastructure, the Center ensures a dynamic learning environment for generations to come, fostering growth and development in every person it serves.

Among its many features, the Ballantyne Berg Campus boasts unique state-of-the-art recreational areas designed to facilitate social interaction, peer engagement, and physical activity for individuals, families, and staff alike. Notable additions include a new therapy pool, a fully accessible and inclusive outdoor playground, and a built-in 'track' connecting all areas of the campus for year-round access.  In addition, the new indoor sensory gym/playground offers a structured environment that helps children develop their sensory, communication and motor skills.  Skilled therapists help guide children through activities involving swings, trampolines, therapy balls, tunnels, climbing walls, and many other tools to develop skill, improve confidence and increase independence.

The culmination of years of planning and dedication, the completion of the Pathways project marks a significant milestone for the Anne Carlsen Center and the community it serves.

While the new Anne Carlsen Center is now fully operational, we invite the community to join us for a planned celebration and grand opening event on June 6th, 2024, commencing at noon. Festivities will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony, engaging programs, guided campus tours, delectable food offerings, interactive games, and plenty of fun-filled activities for all ages.
