BrightPath Active Learning Center Wins AIA 2023 Merit Award

MKC Architects won a 2023 AIA Columbus Merit Award for Brightpath Learning Center. Given the rural nature of Genoa Township, nearby communities are in desperate need of child-care and educational programs. BrightPath is an affordable nature-based academic enrichment program for children aged 5-8, including full-day programs for families in need.

To fulfill the needs of the neighboring community, including making quality education available to all, keeping cost down was a primary design driver from project inception with a target cost of $200/sf.
To expand the impact of the project, the building was sited to provide maximum amount of play areas, provide access to the natural woods at the rear of property, and provide views upon approach for safety and security.
