About Hosanna House
We have partnered with Hosanna House, a local nonprofit community organization, to repair and revitalize a playground area for young children. Our team participated in site visits, researched potential alternatives, and met with engineering professionals in order to develop a solution that satisfied all stakeholders. The site proved challenging as a steep incline posed significant erosion risk, especially given its heavy use by children. While the project is still a work-in-progress, the project team is hopeful that the project will soon reach the implementation phase.
