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.
