EVstudio collaborated with TLC Learning Center in Longmont, Colorado, to design a 33,800-square-foot facility dedicated to early childhood education. Serving infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, the center combines classrooms with therapy and movement spaces to foster motor skill development, social-emotional growth, and sensory learning. The project reflects TLC’s mission to provide a comprehensive, inclusive approach to kindergarten readiness.

The design balances functionality and aesthetics while addressing licensing standards and the unique requirements of two early learning programs. Shared pocket restrooms, efficient plumbing layouts, and operable windows optimize space and comfort, while exposed structural elements create an open, engaging atmosphere. The cohesive color palette complements the surrounding landscape and supports TLC’s branding, promoting a calming yet energetic environment for students and staff. Nature-inspired outdoor spaces, designed by Norris Design, encourage exploration and play, while a fire-access track doubles as a bike path, enhancing site functionality.

Overcoming site challenges such as parking constraints, terrain, and setbacks, the design seamlessly integrates classrooms, playgrounds, and administrative areas. EVstudio’s design addressed evolving needs while maintaining program goals, aided by Golden Triangle Construction’s collaborative CM/GC approach, ensuring progress despite late-stage changes.

This cornerstone project underscores EVstudio’s expertise in creating impactful educational spaces. The TLC Learning Center is a vital resource for the community, supporting young learners and their families for years to come.

EVstudio is leading the revitalization of the Routt County Fairgrounds, combining innovative fairground architecture with cost-effective design solutions. This active project involves evaluating and upgrading the existing restroom facilities, providing site and structural engineering to replace an outdated Lean-To structure, and designing a modern maintenance equipment shop. By optimizing existing infrastructure, our team is helping the County maximize its budget while enhancing the functionality and appeal of the fairground facilities.

Our deliverables include comprehensive site analysis, detailed design development, stamped construction drawings, and ongoing construction support to ensure a seamless process from concept to completion. With a focus on sustainability and long-term usability, this project reflects EVstudio’s commitment to designing versatile and impactful fairgrounds that serve both community and operational needs.
