Empire partnered with Greater Living Architecture for design of the over 6,000 s/f childcare/educational fit out located at 105 Despatch Dr. The space completion and official opening from their Fairport relocation occurred in early January.

The new 6,000 s/f space features a welcoming lobby; three custom classrooms, each featuring their own size-specific bathrooms and sinks; custom kitchen; laundry facilities; private office; storage; and an outdoor playground with turf and handicap accessible ramp.
