CARPENTERSVILLE, ILL. — Leopardo Cos. has completed the construction of the 230-student Jerri Hoffmann Child + Family Center in Carpentersville for Illinois-based Children’s Home + Aid, a nonprofit agency. Situated on seven acres at 229 Lake Marian Road, the 27,000-square-foot facility features 15 classrooms, a gross motor room, associated administrative and support spaces, a full-service kitchen and laundry room, as well as an outdoor play area for the students.
The new facility replaces the Tom Thumb Community Childcare Center, but continues to serve at-risk children and families. Additionally, the facility is seeking LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. Leopardo served as general contractor and Designhaus Inc. provided architectural services for the project.
