The new Friends Center for Children shares the property of the Quaker Meeting House in Fair Haven. Designed using LEED criteria, the two-storey glulam beam structure incorporates an active roof garden, geothermal heat pumps and locally manufactured and/or harvested materials.
In planning a space for young children, we paid particular attention to indoor air quality through the selection of low VOC materials and finishes, and design of fresh air ventilation systems. Each classroom has natural light, natural ventilation and direct access to the playgrounds and parkland beyond.
