In a bid to enhance community spaces and accommodate the growing needs of its teen patrons, Schell Brothers unveiled a new addition May 13 at the Georgetown library.
A meticulously crafted room called the Teen Zone was designed and built entirely by an all-female team courtesy of Schell Brothers and women volunteers from Fisher Architecture.
“This project empowers women to be all that they can be, and that could be anything,” said Sue Briddell, procurement manager for Schell Brothers.
By celebrating and empowering women in construction, Schell Brothers aims to inspire the next generation of female talent, and foster a more inclusive and diverse industry for years to come.
A sign in front of the room denotes that this project was entirely completed by women from the ground up.
The Teen Zone room will be a place for teens to hang out and relax.
