University Expands Child Development
Center
The
Ohio University Child Development Center
will expand and relocate its services to
the soon-to-be-renovated horse barn on The
Ridges.
The
university solicited bids earlier this
year from vendors to provide an expanded
child care program to faculty, staff and
the community that includes care of
infants and toddlers. After examining the
bids, university officials decided to
contract with the campus' own Child
Development Center, operated in Putnam
Hall by the College
of Health and Human
Services.
The
new center will fulfill the commitment
President
Robert Glidden made to families in his
1998
State of the University
address,
in which he announced the university's
plan to establish the expanded child care
center.
The
Athens architectural firm of Reiser,
Valentour and Callahan will oversee
efforts to renovate the horse barn into a
12,000-square-foot facility to serve
approximately 130 children ages 6 weeks to
5 years. The center is scheduled to open
at its new location in September
2000.
