| This new
30,000 sq. ft. family care center is located within the Southfields
Corporate campus and provides convenient daycare and after school
services for the children of the campus' Merrill Lynch employees.
Two separate 150 child wings serve a total of 300 children. Each
"modular" wing is divided into two separate "family"
blocks connected by a communal living room and punctuated by a shared
art room. A door in each classroom's bay window provides an entry
directly to an outdoor play area. These entries are further emphasized
with low, curved, brow-like canopies that provide a playful element
against the mainly brick facade.
