Info
Davis Square Architects teamed up with NorthStar Learning Centers on their new state-of-the-art Early Education Academy, 10 Hyacinth Street. Located in New Bedford, the academy doubles the current full-time enrollment to serve 135 children and families, and bolsters NorthStar’s 50-plus years’ mission of addressing academic disparities due to funding inequity and socioeconomic factors through community-oriented, enriching educational programming and experiences.
10 Hyacinth Street features a new two-story building totaling over 18,100 sf, and includes 10 classrooms, a community space, gross motor skills space, administrative offices and conference rooms, and a commercial kitchen.
Formerly home to St. Hyacinth’s Church, the site has been repurposed into supportive use to the densely populated neighborhood, and re-activates a lot that has sat unused for a significant period of time. The project is also conveniently located within walking distance of public transit.
