Jamaica Red Cross Warehouse
This project proposes a purpose-built warehouse and operations centre for the Jamaica Red Cross in St. Ann’s Bay, conceived as a scalable, climate-resilient logistics hub supporting post–Hurricane Melissa recovery and long-term regional preparedness. The design integrates high-volume storage, training, and coordination spaces within a robust structural framework capable of phased expansion as funding becomes available.
