The Industrial Aid project was a $5.5 million expansion of the shelter workshop’s aging facilities, which enabled it to remain in the city and preserve more than 200 jobs there. Because of this commitment to the city and surrounding neighborhood the project was awarded the "Spirit of St. Louis Award" by the mayor’s office in June 2007. Industrial Aid is a packaging company that employs mentally and physically challenged adults who might otherwise have difficulty finding or maintaining employment. The new addition emphasizes an open floor plan production space with large structural bays, high ceilings, skylights, a state of the art electrical system and a two-story entry space for visitors with a new boardroom and new office space. There are also new break rooms and locker areas for employees, a courtyard with outdoor seating and plasma screen TVs.
