"The space turned out better than I could have dreamed it - It's just spectacular," said Michael Peel, Yale's vice president for human resources and administration at the ribbon cutting ceremony for The Nest, Yale's newest affiliated childcare center. The event, which took place on October 29, brought together faculty, staff and others to celebrate this new space designed by Christopher Williams Architects LLC (CWA).
Having been out of operation since 2008, the previous daycare space was worn, tired, outmoded and not conducive to modern day childcare standards. CWA changed all that through design improvements that transformed many of spaces challenging components into compelling design elements. The end result provides the children with safety and security, as well as a creative and imaginative setting.
