The Brooklyn Community Services Daycare Center anchors the ground floor of a 15-story, mixed-use residential building in Fort Greene. The center is designed with learning, rest, and play space for two, three, and four year olds, in addition to BCS Community outreach and programs. Planning for future flexibility informed the design.

The design strategy of the daycare center was guided by the client’s interest in future flexibility and programmatic agility. To meet a fast-track schedule, the design team’s specification of building and furniture systems that could be procured quickly (e.g. “quick ship” vs. long-lead items) was integral to the design process, as was identifying realistic milestones that could be met during construction.

Facilities

The color story of the Center is inspired by Brooklyn Community Services branding. Bold signage and clear wayfinding allow the space to be welcoming and accessible to the community it serves.

Build Out

BCS Daycare was designed within white-box tenant space at the base of a 15-story mixed-use building. An unusual technical challenge associated with the project was the expansion of the commercial tenant space through the conversion of former parking garage space on the ground floor. The design approach knits together these divergent existing conditions harmoniously.
