A 300 student, 40,000 SF Early Childhood Center, designed to create a protected, inviting entrance court and to relate to its historic surrounding while evoking a playful and inviting space for small children and their families. The entrance includes exhibition design, allowing integration of local history into the school itself. The adjacent Trenton Battle Memorial and the site of Martin Luther King’s Trenton civil rights rally are featured along with an historic train station and the D&R Canal. This entrance lobby will also serve as a community facility after school hours.
