Renovation of a day care center in Riverdale, Maryland. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a day care center.

This project establishes the Early Childhood Center. The facility is the former Riverdale Hills ES originally constructed in 1958 (35,727 square feet) and sits on a total of seven parcels. A partial renovation was completed by the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) in 2006 for the areas that are currently occupied by UMCP and a local police department. The remaining classrooms (14,710 square feet) were abated and gutted, leaving only the building shell and basic mechanical and electrical equipment. The scope of the project includes the construction of a main office and health suite for the new program, roof replacement, HVAC system replacement (entire building), ADA compliant toilet room upgrades for all affected classrooms, replacement of the windows and exterior doors and other improvements. The project is included in the County's FY 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
