As a part of the School District’s philosophy to stay abreast of current educational trends, Bailey Edward focused on designing for the Champaign Early Learning Center a building that incorporated sustainable design and a sense of community in a fun and secure environment. The design creates a community for the children by turning the corridors into streets complete with “street lighting” and houses. Office spaces become “homes” in the corridor, fitted out with divided windows, unique paint colors and “roofs”.
