Child Development Center

Last Updated Oct 6, 2008 06:53 PM

 

qOverview
Location: San Francisco, CA
Building type(s): Daycare, Recreation
New construction
6,080 sq. feet (565 sq. meters)
Project scope: 1-story building
Urban setting
Completed January 2002
Argonne Child Development Center is San Francisco's first solar-powered school. Since Argonne shares its site with San Francisco's largest community garden, neighbor and community participation were essential to the design of the project. The new school building incorporates the surrounding gardens and play areas to stretch the concept of a classroom.

Environmental Aspects
Strong community advocacy pushed the design of the Argonne Child Development Center to be a green building in its solar performance and material selections, but even more to be a sheltering and celebratory spot for their community garden and their children. The building uses simple, even basic, strategies to provide a welcoming and comfortable space for pre-school children and neighboring community gardeners with minimal environmental impact. Sustainable design principles are incorporated to provide natural ventilation, daylighting, and solar energy for the building. The school utilizes building-integrated photovoltaics and recycled and low-VOC "green" building materials are used to provide a healthy environment for the children.
