David and Ruth Asper Early Learning Centre

The David and Ruth Asper Early Learning Centre is a daycare that’s part of the Rady JCC organization in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This non-profit daycare offers programs for children aged 18 months to five years. This project – designed by Architecture 49 – converted a vacant firehall into a beautiful and intimate learning environment. The fibreglass-framed curtain wall replaced the garage bay doors to take advantage of the northern orientation, allowing soft, diffused sunlight to bathe the interior. This 3,781 sqft project was completed in 2016.
