Friends Center for Children
Enfield Builders served as the general contractor for the new Friends Center for Children in New Haven, which celebrated its grand opening in September 2013. The two-story glu-lam beam structure was designed using LEED criteria and incorporates an active roof garden, geothermal heat pumps and locally manufactured and/or harvested materials. In planning a space for young children, Patriquin Architects paid particular attention to indoor air quality through the selection of low VOC materials and finishes, and the design of fresh air ventalation systems. Each classroom features natural light, natural ventilation and direct access to the playgrounds and parkland beyond.
