LAC Early Childhood Center
Project description: LAC mission is to provide childcare and education designed and tailored to the specific needs of all young children. The space is located at ground floor of a 1951 building designed by Emery Roth & Sons renovated to create a new center for kids aged 0 to 6 years old. The bright and welcoming entrance on Fifth Avenue leads to a main lobby with the director’s office and a large central multi-purpose space beyond serves the community. The center includes a total of six classrooms, including two nurseries, arranged around the central multi-purpose space. Each classroom receives plenty of natural light due to the school's corner location. Staff and support spaces are placed within sight of the halls and classrooms. These bright, creative and collaborative spaces are a great addition to the Washinton Square Park neighborhood.
