Rung “has a very generous founder who sees this as her legacy,” Gill said.

The new campus includes plans for vegetable and herb gardens as well as an orchard alongside offices and space for other nonprofits. Gill said partners such as behavioral health services provider Provident, domestic violence nonprofit Safe Connections and financial education provider Prosperity Connection will have space for satellite offices there. Family Care Health Centers plans a clinic there, she added.

The new Rung campus will “provide a tremendous new asset for the neighborhood,” said Tom Pickel of DeSales Community Development, a nonprofit that invests in housing and services in the neighborhood.

DeSales had purchased the land several years when it became available, but it had no particular plans for the site, Pickel said.

“We could only wish for an outcome like what you’re seeing,” he told the St. Louis Preservation Board on Monday.

The Preservation Board was weighing whether to allow Rung to build an addition to an old warehouse slated for renovation.
