| Notes | The Helen Gordon Child Development Center serves as an academic laboratory resource, inviting participation by University faculty and students in the fields of early childhood education, child and family studies, psychology and related fields, and is directly affiliated with the Graduate School of Education. The original structure, the Fruit and Flower Building, was built in 1928 and was one of the first buildings in America designed specifically as a day-care facility and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The first PSU campus children's program began in 1971 in response to a student-mothers' sit-down in the PSU president's office. The fledgling program served twenty children in a temporary basement location until 1973 when PSU acquired the Fruit and Flower Building. Once in its new location, the Portland State Child Care center grew to its present capacity, and in 1974 was renamed Helen Gordon Child Development Center to honor the late Helen Gordon, an activist for children's rights, instrumental in securing funding to support student families.
