This is inside one of the classrooms. I am standing by the south facing wall which is all windows. To the right, you can see where the observation booth will be (this has a two way mirrored window so that college students can watch the children in the room). In each room, the curved wall that has the mirrored window will be made out of wood found in Michigan (ie. one will be Maple, one Pine, etc.). If you could look through Margaret's yellow hard hat, you would see the door that leads out into the main preschool hall.
This just might be best feature of each classroom. The entire south facing wall of each classroom is floor to ceiling window, with a glass door that will lead out to the playground. This is a green building (the roof over the classrooms will also have greenery growing on it), so they angled the roof in such a way that full sun enters the room in the winter, and minimal direct sun enters in the summer. We may never have to turn on the lights!
Another shot in the classroom along the edge of the window wall that will be made of wood.
Here is a closer shot of the door that leads from each classroom out into the main preschool hallway. Now I can't wait to get back there with a camera that is not already full of pictures! It was fun to finally walk into the building and know what each space was because I had poured over the plans so many times. I was able to walk through each of the 4 classrooms, the storage area and studio, the indoor play room, eating area, kitchen, conference room, offices, reception space and entry area. Can you tell I'm excited!!!?? This is why I won't be able to make any committments during the month of July. CMU has already made it clear that we will be moving then, and have to be ready at the drop of a hat if the schedule changes. It may be a long summer, but I'm hopeful that it will be worth it!
