 Completed in the Summer of 2005, the
Child Development Research Center (CDRC) is dedicated to being a leader in the study of
young children.
The CDRC is a
state-of-the-art, 64,000 sq-ft research facility equipped with the latest
multi-media research technology, seven large research suites, and eight research rooms.
Each research room has an adjoining observation booth.
The CDRC houses the

120 students ages two months to five years;
Child Development Resources, which assists families across the state of Alabama
to provide a safe, loving, and enriching life for their
young children;

which provides the community with help in resolving personal
problems and trains graduate students specializing in marriage

True to its interdisciplinary nature, the CDRC is also

of Psychology and the Belser-Parton Literacy Center from the
