He added that the center is the first project to be developed in the East Campus area. The center complies with the University's sustainability project and is equipped with "lots of energy management things," he said, fie added that the building's energy use is 40 percent below city code limits, in part because of motion detecting lights and underground pipes for the heating and cooling system. The building is also designed to sus tain plant life on the site.

Original concerns about the fate of a 40-year-old water oak in the middle of the site and a pine tree on one comer were put to rest by constructing the building around the two trees and their root systems. "Those historic trees are still here and will be for a long time to come," Reynolds said. EMU Director of Student Activi ties Gregg Lobisser said the way the building wraps around the center courtyard, where the oak tree and the playgrounds are located, creates a sense of community. "This is an exciting high-quality facil ity that provides just a first-rate environ ment for children," he said. Reynolds said the building blends in well with the neighborhood, which was a concern for some residents in the area. He said one aspect that makes it appropriate for the area is the roofs are not higher than the nearby houses. "It's a little school, and it's consistent with the neighborhood," he said. "It doesn't feel like an institutional build ing; it feels really warm." Lobisser said he has received no re cent complaints from neighbors about the building. "I have heard nothing but compli ments in the last few months," he said. Mary McAllister, a lead teacher at the center, said she will miss the "homi ness" of the previous house on Moss Street where she taught but this build ing has many more advantages. "I love it here," she said. "It's bright. It's airy. I can see all of the kids all the time. Everyone's just full of smiles here." University junior Rachael Latimer agreed the building has more advan tages than the previous facilities, and her 3-year-old son enjoys going to the school. "It's a really good improvement" she said. "There are a lot of features that are custom for kids." University staff member Debbie Do ran said her 6-year-old daughter has adapted well to the new center. "She just got in here, decorated her cubby, and she's on her way," she said.
