Roxbury Tenants of Harvard Children’s Center

Roxbury Tenants of Harvard Children’s Center

Boston, MA

In 2016, Kaplan Construction was commissioned for an interior fit-out for the Roxbury Tenants of Harvard’s (RTH) Children’s Center, located on the first floor of a recently constructed 11-story building in the Longwood Medical area. Selected for its depth of experience building early childhood education centers, Kaplan framed and finished the 9,715 SF raw space, creating two infant rooms, three toddler rooms, two preschool rooms, two mixed-age enrichment rooms, an office, staff kitchen, and lobby.

RTH is a nonprofit housing and human service organization that was founded by Mission Hill residents in 1969 to encourage community involvement; foster the improvement of housing, recreation, and related facilities for the residents; and improve the social and economic condition of the community. The Children’s Center is one of a variety of programs designed for the residents who reside at Mission Park and the additional neighborhood housing adjoining the site.
