| Summary: | This paper discusses an example of an
early childhood development facility intervention in the
Khanty-Mansyisk region of the Russian Federation and its
potential to produce efficiency gains in the region and the
country overall. The government of the region is introducing
changes to the built environment of its early childhood
development centers. The proposed new design is based on the
concept of the learning environment as a third teacher. The
smaller footprint of the new buildings will increase the
amount of active space per child, and the new design will
include energy efficiency measures. The economic impact of
these measures will reduce operating costs throughout the
lifecycle of the building and provide strong evidence to
education policy makers in the rest of the region and the
country as a whole in favor of child-centered, healthy, and
energy efficient early childhood development infrastructure. |
