PUBLIC is in the design phase of a two-group child care facility that will provide much needed spaces for the community. Space planning is driven by the day-to-day sequence of children’s activities and how they use and move through the building and its connecting exterior spaces. The building is carefully sited to create a civic scale in this emerging urban neighbourhood, to minimize shadows on exterior play spaces, and to act as an acoustic buffer from an adjacent busy road. Construction is scheduled to be completed in November, 2016.
