CSULB Isabel Patterson Child Development Center

Established in 1975. The Isabel Patterson Child Development Center was made possible by the generous donation of Isabel Patterson, a former Long Beach teacher and CSULB alumna. It houses the preschool program, kitchen and teachers' offices in the area. In 1986, a school-age facility and central office building were added. Referred to as the "Dome," the school-age facility is indeed a geodesic dome offering space on both the first floor and a loft. The central office building houses a customer service counter, administrative staff and the office of the Center's Director and Associate Director. The latest addition to the Center was the Infant Toddler Center, completed in 1994.
