Cal's Playground Dedication Ceremony at the Gengras Center
Earlier this month, Friar Architecture joined new friends at the dedication ceremony for Cal’s Playground at the Gengras Center on the University of Saint Joseph Campus in West Hartford. As part of our 50th anniversary celebration, we volunteered to help the center create a new playground for every student. The design features fully accessible equipment, sensory-rich play elements, and inclusive surfaces. It was a pleasure to have worked with the University of Saint Joseph, the Gengras Center staff, community volunteers, O’Brien & Sons, Creative Landscape Design, and 7 Summits Construction. Thank you to champions, boosters, and supporters who made this possible!
