Louisiana Children\u2019s Museum Early Learning Village<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

New Orleans is on track for the late 2017 opening of the Louisiana Children\u2019s Museum Early Learning Village, reported the Mid-City Messenger<\/a><\/em>. Set to open in time for New Orleans\u2019 2018 tricentennial, the Early Learning Village is moving at a steady pace toward accruing the $38 million needed for its development. Funds for the first-of-its-kind early learning museum will be put together from three different sources. The state of Louisiana will provide the bulk of the funds, directing more than $20 million towards the interactive children\u2019s learning center. The Louisiana Children\u2019s Museum plans to raise $13 million through private donations and funding \u2013 of this it has amassed $5 million to date. The third source of capital will be provided by the sale of the museum\u2019s Julia Street building.<\/p>\n

Set to be developed on 8.5 acres in City Park, the 58,000-square-foot facility will co-locate the children\u2019s museum with a nature center, literacy center, parent and teacher resource center, childcare center, performing arts center, edible garden, kitchen and caf\u00e9. The complex will also include outdoor multipurpose spaces, several acres of discovery walks and diverse ecosystems. The Early Learning Village will be built to showcase sustainability and environmental stewardship. As such, the project is designed to attain a LEED Gold rating. The site design is also part of a national Sustainable Sites pilot project.<\/p>\n

According to Mid-City Messenger<\/em>, the project\u2019s design is the result of collaboration between Mithun, HandsOn! Inc., Waggonner & Ball Architects and Gyroscope Inc. The latter has been the master planner of the acclaimed Thinkery, Austin\u2019s new children\u2019s museum.<\/p>\n
