Kentwood Early Education Center Nature Explore Outdoor Classroom

LAUSD approached PBWS to collaborate with Nature Explore, a Nebraska-based nonprofit that “thrives on creating Nurturing Outdoor Spaces for Children”. This collaboration resulted in a design solution for a 28,748 SF outdoor, early education nature experience with a variety of interactive and engaging play areas that are integrated into the landscape and feature natural textures and materials for imaginative and immersive play, stimulating the senses and imagination of the young students. The project scope also included the redesign of the parking lot and “refresh” of several interior spaces, including required ADA improvements. PBWS provided full A/E services from design through construction and project closeout.
