Krieger Child Care Center Expansion

Krieger Child Care Center Expansion

This project proposes to expand the existing Krieger Child Care Center (KCCC) to accommodate an additional 100 licensed child care spaces for preschool children of UCLA faculty, staff and students. The expansion is necessary to address a critical need for child care services for families with young children. The expansion would consist of construction of a new one-story approximately 7,000 gross square foot (gsf) building with 2,500 gsf of covered and unenclosed patio space. The project would be constructed on an approximately 1.2 acre site consisting of the existing Parking Lot #10 and an adjacent portion of undeveloped land, south of the existing KCCC located in the Northwest zone of campus near the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Veteran Avenue. A replacement parking lot to provide 25 parking spaces, and improvements to the access roadway to accommodate 25 loading and queuing spaces would also be part of the project. The expansion also includes provision of approximately 15,640 square feet of outdoor play area for pre-school children, infants and toddlers. The proposed project is consistent with the land use principles established in the UCLA 2002 Long Range Development Plan, and development allocation analyzed in the 2002 LRDP Final EIR, certified in 2003.
