The
Sewall Child Development Center will relocate to a newly renovated building in Congress Park in time for the new school year.
Palace Construction is managing the project, which will include renovations of eight existing classrooms and a redesign of the office space to accommodate teacher workstations.
"This project will result in a new and improved home for Sewall Child Development Center, an inspiring educational center that serves children of all learning styles and economic situations," says Maggie Bolden, director of client relations for Palace Construction. "Palace Construction’s world-class team is commmitted to delivering the new space on time and on budget so that Sewall can continue its mission of helping children succeed."
Built in 1924, the building will be renovated to include installation of an ADA accessible elevator that will provide access to all floors of the building, air conditioning for the entire building and ADA restrooms to be used by 2- to 5-year-old children.
Sewall Child Development Center provides integrated educational programs for more than 300 children from birth to age 6. It serves an additional 2,000 children through its role as the disabilities service provider for Denver’s Head Start programs. About two-thirds of the children served by Sewall live in poverty, and about half have identified special needs including developmental challenges, physical disabilities and cognitive and behavioral problems.
