This three story building is our campus’ hub and main meeting place. It’s original design and purpose started with a fully functioning industrial kitchen, and enough space to facilitate all of our orphanages needs with dorm-style bedrooms, as well as a place for family meals and play time.

In 2017, a God-led philosophical shift happened that transformed LOL from an institutional style to foster home format. The main building took on a new form, and one that only God could have foreseen. This building, built in three layers is now home to all our offices, the directors home, kitchen, staff housing, prayer room, directors home, learning center, and more.

The Director’s Home

Completed August 2015

The director’s job is a deeply challenging one that requires the ability to have space that is their own. The director’s home provides a place for them and their family to find focus and respite, where they can retain and rejuvenate their passion for what God has called them to do.

The Learning Center, Housing Village

Completed June 2012

Our learning center is key to developing the children here at Laugh Out Loud. This space was originally designed as day-to-day classrooms as well as a space to offer our kids after-school tutoring. Along with two large classrooms, there is a general meeting space for playtime and study. Outside of the learning center are two large playgrounds, when our kids spend time playing and being free!

In 2017, after the transition, this became a foster home village for two families, with a joint living and kitchen area. The Learning Center was then relocated to a wing of the main building.

Prayer Room & Offices

Completed July 2016

The ever expanding need for administrative support, created the need for additional office space. The increase in staff and support volunteers has made it necessary to enlarge the prayer room. So, in 2016, high in the third story, the offices and new prayer room took shape offering the staff a perfect gathering place for their weekly meetings, on top of it’s every day use, as a place of worship, prayer, and connection with God.

Courtyard & Gardens

Completed September 2016

Walking paths, swigging hammocks, sitting benches with a fire pit and a large variety of tropical plants accent adorn the new courtyard and garden area right outside the main building.
