A need to centralize all child care kids and resources under one roof opened the doors to working with SōL Harris/Day Architecture. SHD worked with YMCA staff to create a space that offered a better learning and recreational environment.
Finding the best location, SHD was able to re-purpose an existing 16,000 sf car dealership into a new child development center that can house 200-plus children from birth to eighth grade. This new center will be able to feed over 100 kids per day.
The exterior and interior spaces were completely redesigned to offer a more open and friendly environment. The design of the exterior conformed to the recently completed and updated North Canton master plan. The transformation of the interior spaces creates a more modern and spacious feel by introducing natural light and neutral colors that simulate a homier atmosphere.
This new child care facility opened on schedule at the beginning of this September 2013.
