Floor and window coverings are new throughout the entire building and each apartment has electric heat and air conditioning.

The common areas of Congregational Tower were re-configured and expanded by 2,070 square feet.  The community kitchen is equipped with all new appliances and the community room has increased in size.  With the re-configuration, the laundry room has been expanded and a computer lab, a lounge/library, an recreational/media room, a service coordinator office, an arts and crafts room, an outdoor patio, and additional public restrooms have been created.
Congregational Tower underwent a number of structural improvements as well.  A new roof and new finishes to the exterior of the building are quite visible improvements.  All electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems within the building were upgraded or replaced and landscaping was improved.
