Howard center is a building for four departments, Paichai University’s early childhood education department and derived kindergarten, children daycare center, and school for nursery teachers. Located at the long narrow shaped site of the eastern border of the campus the linear building mass flows along the particular site shape is positioned on the street side so that the children could be exposed at the least influence from outside. The sectional program placements and internal circulation based on the tight or loose relationship between programs are expressed through the transparent building skin and staircase and it creates the building's expression with vertical louvers which blocks the daylight.

The backyard formed by gently restoring the existing ground connects the kindergarten and children daycare center and helps them interact each other. Moreover the hall placed at the center of classrooms, similar to the central square within a city, is expected to be a field for children to gather, be scattered, look each other, hang out, communicate and create their own space.
