Site work and new construction of a day care center in Camarillo, California. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a 19,600-square-foot day care center; and for site work for a day care center.

The Early Childhood Education Center will provide high-quality early care and educational services to diverse children and families from our university and local community in a 19,600 ASF/31,000 GSF building in Big Rock Park, across Camarillo Street from Shasta Hall (#46). It will also support the Early Childhood Studies department, the only program of its kind in Ventura County, and students' ability to earn their required student teaching hours without long commutes. The building includes a total of 10 classrooms with a maximum of 104 children across age brackets (infants, toddlers, preschool). The building will include a reception area, childcare classrooms, multi-purpose room, play yards, offices, staff support, medical, lactation, kitchen, custodial, laundry, and building support space. This project is currently in the California State University's FY 2022-2026 CIP. As of March 23, 2022, preliminary plans, working drawings and construction are anticipated in 2023/2024.* *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
