Early Learning Center
Project Description
Johns Hopkins University is relocating the Early Learning Center (ELC) from its current location on Wyman Park Drive to a new, larger, state-of-the-art childcare facility. This thoughtfully designed space will foster an environment that encourages exploration, experimentation, critical thinking, and collaboration for children. The new center will expand enrollment capacity, better support the needs of the Homewood campus and surrounding community, and provide a welcoming space for both children and adults.
