Buildings

We pass by buildings every day.
We enter them without a thought that they might not always have been there.

Read below to see some evidence of how these buildings have provided the space for us to learn, live, grow, and share as a community.

Our buildings have much to teach us about ourselves. Or, as Winston Churchill once said — First we build our buildings, and thereafter they build us.
