Gypsum Early Learning Center

The Gypsum Learning Center and Housing Project is a significant multi-use development designed for the Eagle County School District. Located on an existing district site in Gypsum, Colorado, the project integrates essential community infrastructure with district-specific housing.

The centerpiece of this master plan is a massive 47,000-square-foot early childhood facility engineered to accommodate a capacity of 320 children, from infancy through Pre-K, which requires a specialized structural layout and zoning to meet rigorous safety and developmental standards for multiple age groups. Beyond the educational facility, the project incorporates a robust residential framework consisting of both apartment complexes and townhomes designed for district staff. The plan includes two 20-unit apartment buildings and separate townhome units, offering a variety of configurations from one to three bedrooms. A defining structural feature of these residences is the integration of attached single-car garages for every unit. This is a notable engineering requirement for high-altitude mountain housing, ensuring both structural stability and climate-protected parking for residents.
