Healthy Communities Early Learning Center

IFF and partner Trinity Health are constructing a new early childhood education (ECE) facility. Operated by Development Centers and located in the Cody Rouge / Warrendale neighborhood, the new 16,000 S.F. facility will house nine classrooms and serve up to 140 children. The design organizes three classroom wings around a central courtyard, offering all rooms ample daylight and views with direct physical access to play areas.  The site will include play areas for the ECE, community use space, and pedestrian connections and a segment of bike path planned as part of the City of Detroit’s Strategic Neighborhood Fund.
