Office
This bright and airly early learning childhood training center transforms the previously closed-off, dark office environment. The space supports research, policy programs and early childhood teacher education.
The client requested a cost-effective space that would be collaborative and inviting, a place for communal gathering and impromptu conversations. To meet these needs, we created a clean, fresh interior that is open, simplistic and efficient, with an atmosphere of primarily open offices, glass walls and windows where solid walls once stood. Most important to the client was a space that would showcase their vision of transforming the lives of young children by improving their learning and development. RDG designers selected materials in light finishes, incorporating small pops of color and enhancing the lighting to bring the children's successes to the forefront, reflecting the client's mission. The space is brought to life by images of these spirited children throughout the space as well as additional artwork themed around the principles of early childhood care and education.
