O2B Kids | Huntsville, AL

Caliber 1 Construction partnered with O2B Kids to deliver a new single-story early learning academy in Huntsville, Alabama. As an experienced educational facility contractor, we completed the ground-up construction of this 10,910-square-foot, Type IIB facility. Built for fun and functionality, the academy provides a safe, engaging, and flexible environment that supports infants through school-age children.

A Purpose-Built Early Learning Academy

This ground-up construction project was designed to serve a wide range of ages while keeping safety and function at the center. The single-story, slab-on-grade layout supports daily operations and helps children move easily through the space.

Key program areas include:

• Age-specific classrooms for infants, toddlers, preschool, and afterschool programs
• Indoor multi-purpose activity areas, including art and creative learning spaces
• A secure administrative suite with entry vestibule, offices, and a staff lounge
• Child-scaled, ADA-compliant restrooms distributed throughout the building

Construction and Life Safety Systems

We built the facility for durability, safety, and long-term performance. Each system was installed to meet educational code and childcare licensing standards.

• Single-story, slab-on-grade construction
• Type IIB building classification
• Full life safety systems, including NFPA-13 sprinklers and fire alarm
• Emergency egress compliance throughout
• Secure-entry vestibule for controlled access

Interior Design and Finishes

The interiors balance durability with a bright, welcoming feel. Each finish was chosen to hold up to daily use while supporting creativity and easy wayfinding.

• Luxury vinyl plank flooring with ceramic tile in wet areas
• Washable paint finishes for easy maintenance
• Energy-efficient lighting and windows to maximize daylight and reduce costs
• Sound attenuation measures to limit noise transfer between classrooms
• Bright, child-friendly design that promotes learning

Site Development and Outdoor Spaces

Beyond the main building, we completed outdoor spaces built for safe, supervised play. These areas connect directly to the classrooms for smooth transitions.

• Fenced outdoor playgrounds and learning yards
• Direct classroom exits to outdoor areas
• Layouts planned for safety and easy supervision
