Thesis

This thesis project will be for creating a space that engages both children and seniors. There will be three sections, the first section being for the day care where the children will be, second being a community space for them to enjoy activities together. Then the purpose for the last section will be a place solely focussed on the care for seniors. All three of these spaces will be connected to one another but have doors to adjoin each space.  The day care will be open in the morning for younger kids and open in the afternoon for older children after school. This space is meant to be multigenerational, to benefit people of all ages. Having seniors interact with children can benefit both their mental and physical health by encouraging the seniors to do physical activity and the seniors are able to teach the children useful skills for life. This recreational center will be in Massachusetts.
