The Sweet Water facility presents many miscellaneous design/coordination/construction opportunities ranging from the facility's building itself to many smaller interior projects such as the design and construction of partition panels.

Vacant lot community meeting
On Tuesday, September 13th, AfH Milwaukee met with LBWN and local residents near the vacant lot at 32nd & Madison to begin the process of transforming this vacant lot into a pocket park for the local community. We had a great turn out and spent the evening working with the residents to develop a plan that follows their vison and goals for what this space could be. Thanks to all who could make it!
We will soon be translating their visions and thoughts into plans and drawings to present to the community.
See slideshow above for photos from the meeting!
lets go scavenging!
Things are moving along with the Sweet Water partition project. We had a fun & productive "scavanger hunt" through the Sweet Water storage room for scrap materials available to repurpose into functional partition panels for the Sweet Water educational area!
