Documentation, documentation, documentation! We recently invited one of our favorite photographers, Ryan Bent, to capture stunning images of some of our completed projects. Two projects that Ryan visited this spring are the Seavey Terraces apartments in Westbrook and the Rice Public Library in Kittery.

We had perfect weather yesterday to celebrate the Groundbreaking for the new Kiwanis Pool in Portland, Maine! Architects Austin Smith and Julia Tate, and Designer Noah Jacques were excited to attend. The new facility will provide an accessible pool experience for all with a zero entry pool, a walking lane, dedicated lap lanes, a new splash pad, sun shades, and water slides. In tribute to the old pool, in service for an impressive 64 years, 64 pennies and a commemorative City of Portland coin were thrown into the foundation formwork.

Representatives from the City of Portland, Portland Parks Conservancy and local non-profit In Her Presence spoke. In addition to recognizing the amazing and dedicated work of the City's Parks and Recreation team, many thanks are extended to the Portland Parks Conservancy for their fundraising efforts that helped close the funding gap to make this a reality. SA thanks the consultant team for their support and collaboration: AKLA, Alpha One, Counsilman-Hunsaker, Gorrill Palmer, PCM, Salas O’Brien, Thornton Tomasetti and TRC.
