HENRY FORD COMMUNITY COLLEGE CHILD ACTIVITY CENTER

Dearborn, Michigan
Square Feet: 7,123

The problem was to design a campus child activity center that recognized the family responsibilities of many day and evening students, while also serving as a training ground for future teachers and nurses. The Child Activity Center solution reflects a friendly image for the children and a safe location somewhat apart from the other campus buildings.

The development of the “idea” for the Child Activity Center evolved from the fact that children grow up in, and are familiar with, a house and the typical gable roof form. Since a house has an inherent “homey” feeling, a house “form” seemed appropriate for the Child Activity Center.
