Project Description
Located on the traditional lands of the Lekwungen-speaking people, the new child care centre at Hans Helgesen Elementary is designed as an extension of the landscape. Following a strategic feasibility study and a collaborative design process, the project will provide a nurturing environment for 56 children. By prioritizing a single, accessible level, children can move freely between indoor and outdoor learning.
