At the Columbus Centre, we are revitalizing our facility as we renovate to get more out of our existing space and enhance the facilities hosting our programs and services. The improvements reflect Villa Charities’ commitment to ensuring a sustainable and vibrant future, and to improving the experience for all patrons, visitors, staff and tenants.

Some departments and services have been relocated as part of the renovations. See the Villa Charities campus map below for all new department locations.
