Pavilion Construction Begins at Hope Street Garden in York

July 8, 2014 —The Hope Street Garden & Learning Lab reached a milestone with the pouring of the concrete slab for its outdoor pavilion. Stewart & Tate along with several other contractors donated services and materials for the work.

Since the completion of the Helen Thackston Charter School project, Stewart & Tate Construction has been working closely with school administrators on various projects to help educate students. One project being the Hope Street Garden and Learning Lab Initiative, Stewart & Tate offered to reach out to subcontractors that participated in the school’s construction project for donations towards the concrete slab.

The Hope Street Garden and Learning Lab, once a vacant lot on West Hope Avenue in York City, has been transformed into a garden by the city’s youth and community volunteers. The lot’s transformation process began in January 2013 and it now serves as a community garden and outdoor learning lab for youth from schools all around the city. The outdoor pavilion is being built to serve as a classroom for students so they can come to learn and work outside of their traditional classroom environment.

Stewart & Tate would like to thank each of the following companies for their support in helping make this possible.

Weaver & Sons Excavation for digging and backfilling

Kinsley Rebar for supplying reinforcing steel

Ziegler Concrete for supplying concrete

Yoe Concrete for providing labor to pour and finish concrete

York Building Products for supplying stone base

Bernard Anthony for placing stone base

Clean Choice for donating money to purchase column brackets
