Yesterday’s ceremonial groundbreaking for a $2.5 million Gersh and Sarah Lemberg Children’s Center added new meaning to Brandeis’ commitment to educating young people “We talk about educating young people and this is about as young as they get.” The Brandeis children’s center, currently located next to the Brown and Schwartz buildings on the main campus, will move across South Street to Old South Street, into a new building expected to open next February. The Crown Center for Middle East Studies will move into Lemberg’s former space after planned renovations are completed D.W. Arthur Associates Architecture designed the new 7,056-square-foot two-story building which will double the Lemberg’s capacity from approximately 35 to 75 children A group of Lemberg children provided delightful musical interludes at the groundbreaking when not sitting quietly with their parents and teachers on a tarp as speakers described their future Then came their big moment: They each picked up a miniature shovel and ran toward a mound of dirt The new center has been decades in the making. “I first proposed an infant center in 1979 or 1980,” said Lemberg’s Executive Director Howard Baker, who began teaching at the center in 1972, two years after it opened. President Lawrence and Provost Steve A.N. Goldstein ’78 supported his vision for an expanded facility as did the Waltham community and scores of grateful parents The groundswell of community support for Lemberg was heartening and showed the center’s importance to Brandeis and Waltham who said that Lemberg exemplifies Brandeis’ “being not only in but of Waltham.” In addition to serving the children of Brandeis’ diverse faculty the center serves the children of MetroWest residents as well After reading a letter from a grateful student who is now beginning her professional career being with this community that shows such support for what a good children’s center does and helping people grow into happy and healthy lives this is saying we’re going to be here for another 50 years.” Categories: General You may not be able to find the page you were after because of: You might find one of the following links useful: Gain insights on a modern flash point test method that enhances safety and reduces sample volume requirements AFM can provide new insights into 2D materials to better understand their potential applications Kyocera's Fine Ceramics enable next-gen renewable energy solutions offering exceptional stability and performance in hydrogen and nuclear fusion applications Micro-XRF is the key method used for the highly sensitive and non-destructive elemental analysis of a number of samples including in-homogenous and irregular samples Optimize compounding and masterbatch processes to boost efficiency while maintaining top material quality AirBreather is the solution the gas monitoring challenges across applications The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes the IoT is rapidly being introduced into almost all sectors but it has particular importance in the EV industry you can trust me to find commercial scientific answers from AZoNetwork.com please log into your AZoProfile account first Registered members can chat with Azthena, request quotations, download pdf's, brochures and subscribe to our related newsletter content A few things you need to know before we start Read the full
