The centre
Our partners
The centre was made possible due to the partnership and support of the John James Foundation, who not only funded the construction of the facility but also developed, project managed and retained the building. This service forms part of the broader John James Village precinct, and facilitates the provision of specialist education and development for young children and their families. The AEIOU centre in Canberra consolidates the John James Foundation's commitment to strengthening health outcomes in the community.
The facility was designed to include sustainable building elements, and includes building elements such as a 33KwH solar energy system with battery storage to generate green energy and to provide AEIOU with a passive income from distributing surplus energy production back to the main energy grid supply.
