Children’s campus combines education, play, and biophilic architectural design

AHBL provided structural engineering and landscape architecture services for the United Way of Lewis County, United Learning Center and Discovery Children’s Museum. This project includes a 12,000 SF early learning center with a 3,000 SF outdoor play area and a 4,640 SF Children’s Museum.  The site allows for future expansion, with long term plans to include a gymnasium, a Boys and Girls Club, and an 18,000 SF two-story museum. The current building includes vaulted ceilings with clerestory windows in the classroom and museum spaces with exposed CLT panel roof framing to promote biophilia. The project is currently under construction and will achieve LEED Silver certification when completed.
