Manhattan, NY JRM Construction Management has completed an interactive play area at the Center for Toddler Development in Barnard College. Located at 604-606 West 120th St., this space, spanning 2,600 s/f, is a testament to the fusion of learning and play, crafted by the Architecture Research Office and coordinated by DBI Projects.
The play area features “hobbit-sized” doors, miniature cubicles, and slides, all crafted from custom millwork and infused with an array of colors and diverse materials. This curated environment creates a magical atmosphere that encourages exploration and imaginative play, fostering the development of young minds.
Adjacent to this play area, a discreet observation room awaits, complete with one-way glass. This addition allows staff and students to study the play habits of toddlers without intruding on their activities, promoting valuable insights into early childhood development.
The commitment to providing a functional space extends beyond the play area. Staff amenities include well-designed support offices, meeting rooms, testing areas, and a fully equipped pantry, ensuring that the Center for Toddler Development operates seamlessly, fostering a conducive environment for both learning and research.
“We are thrilled to have been a part of this project that promotes early childhood development in such a unique and engaging manner,” said Joseph Romano, president at JRM Construction Management. “The collaboration with the Architecture Research Office and DBI Projects has resulted in a space that not only captivates young hearts but also facilitates important research and learning initiatives.”
JRM Construction Management’s completion of the interactive play area reaffirms their commitment to delivering projects that exceed expectations, bringing innovation and creativity education.
