UCHICAGO CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER – STONY ISLAND
Optimizing daylight, and direct connection to inspiring natural playscape from every classroom
The building strategy for this LEED gold certified building reinforces immersion and connection to nature for the center. The building’s z-shape footprint optimizes daylight exposure for all the classrooms on the challenging narrow infill site, and in the shadows of the tall neighboring buildings.
