Discovering building with a purpose
September 11th | 7:30 - 9am | Shechem at Hope Street
what is this event?
why now?
This free event brings together the voices behind Shechem for a candid conversation on purpose‑driven design: the challenges that stretched a team, the lessons learned along the way, and how architecture can become a catalyst for restoration and renewal.
For seven years, a nonprofit, a contractor, and an architecture firm worked side by side to transform a bold idea into a place of hope and healing. Now, three years later, we’re pausing to revisit that journey, exploring what it took to make it happen and the lasting impact it continues to have on the community it serves.
