Case Studies of Child Play Areas and Child Support Facilities

Abstract

Results of a post-occupancy evaluation of child care centers and outdoor play environments. This report covers 50 children's environments around the U.S. and Canada, and is based on the results of facility inventories, observations of spatial behavior, and interviews with staff, parents, designers and children. Developed under a multiple year grant from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, this study received a Citation for Applied Research from Progressive Architecture in 1979. Reprinted in 1983, 1985.
