PINE CONE CHILDREN'S CENTER (STANFORD UNIVERSITY AT REDWOOD CITY)
Stanford University's New Campus at Redwood City, California
After working with the Child Care team of Stanford for almost 2 years on their campus projects, Dorman Associates was brought onto the team to refine and redesign the building for the Redwood City Campus. The new community has a very contemporary design as dictated by the Master Plan, however the center itself embodies the principles that permeate our projects, including a direct connection between the classrooms and play areas, a communal entry that encourages parent interactions as well as teacher support areas that allow for optimal teacher observation throughout the classrooms.
