Grand Rapids Community College's (GRCC) Early Childhood Learning Laboratory provides GRCC students the opportunity to receive hands-on training within a state-of-the-art preschool and daycare center. The U-shaped facility is separated into North and South "houses," the North accommodating infants to toddlers and the South housing learning spaces for older children with access to a large playground. A hub for early-childhood education, the Lab preschool includes separate observation rooms for students and staff, in addition to an adult classroom to host Child Development and Education courses. This project was also a national award winner from the Associated Builders and Contractors.
