The RISE Center Playscape Renovations & Enhancements Project (“Project”) is a full overhaul of the existing playground areas at the RISE Center and is necessary to continue to fulfill the center’s mission of a blended learning environment where all kids shine. The current playground is not 100% accessible for all of the children at RISE, and this project will provide an opportunity for a state-of-the-art space for our children to thrive but to also be a model program for the Country when it comes to true accessibility for all levels of ability.

This Project will include therapeutic, fully accessible infant, toddler and preschool yards for the children and additional landscaping.

The Project is key to enhancing the experience of the children and their families of the center.

The Project will also address drainage issues in the exterior playground areas.

Advancement and the College will pursue funds for both the overall Project and the individual playscape components as illustrated in the construction packages included in the Total Project Budget above. The University will execute on the Project either as individual packages or comprehensively in conjunction with realized fundraising.

All Construction Packages include the associated playscape equipment as it will be installed integral with the work and will be included in the related package bids.
