CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, CHANNEL ISLANDS

Early Childhood Education and Care Center Feasibility Study

Camarillo, California

PBWS Architects conducted a Feasibility Study for this new facility at CSU Channel Islands (CSUCI) to provide high quality, affordable childcare services for students and faculty, with 25% of capacity devoted to the children of farmworkers in the local area. The Center will accommodate approximately 100 children between the ages of 0 - 5 years. The center will also serve as a  teaching and learning laboratory for students and faculty. This laboratory will include lecture classrooms for 336 to 448 students along with faculty offices. The unique community-collaborative approach and innovative educational program provides a model for other universities and communities across the state for addressing the critical need for increased access to affordable childcare and early childhood education programs, especially for student and farmworker parents.
