Today was the installation of the 20 ft. high peace symbol in the College's final campus beautification project of the year.
The conceptual design was created by Alexander Seguin – Architectural Technology grad - 2017.
The Peace Parkette, located in the physical center of our Main Campus in South Windsor, is easily seen from our Anthony P. Toldo Centre for Applied Health Sciences, Quittenton Hall Residence and SportsPlex.
The parkette has sidewalks that are in the image of the peace sign, connecting the campus to the centre point. It is complemented by benches for seating as well as a centre bench surrounding the statue. The stainless-steel peace symbol was manufactured locally by Cunningham Sheet Metal. The parkette was designed by ROA Studios and constructed by Alliance General Contracting. St. Clair's horticultural program students added the plants and landscaping in the inner and outer circles.
In the new year, we will be installing lights in the area. This parkette will be a comforting and peaceful area for students, staff and our community to use.
