The Lakewood project involves renovating a portion of underused space in an existing school to accommodate a daycare facility. Our proposal called for an improved pick-up and drop off area, easily accessible and sheltered outdoor play areas, a central kitchen, bathroom facilities and a staff area. The plan ultimately provides space for eight infants and twenty-four toddlers in accordance with current legislated Manitoba space requirements. Window placement and room layouts were based on sun paths, prevailing wind direction and clear sight lines to offer a pleasant and safe environment staff and young people.
