Children's Education
Center Renovation

Renewing the Commitment to
Homeless Children
The Homeless Families Foundation (HFF) is renovating the Education Center facility, which houses an education and enrichment program serving school-age children from several family shelters, transitional housing sites, and at-risk children referred from Columbus Public Schools.

The Renovation will creatively transform the program's current facility into additional space utilization for academic and program activities e.g. a library, a recreational area, an art studio. In addition, safety and handicap accessibility will be ensured by building upgrades.

The project will be financed through grants, individual and corporate gifts, donations of materials, supplies, volunteer labor and professional expertise. The community collaboration which will transform this facility will play an important role in also transforming the quality of life and opportunities for many at-risk children.

Bruner Corporation and Speer Mechanical joined together to do the HVAC & Plumbing design of a library, a recreational area, an art studio, classrooms and offices. Members of the Plumber & Pipefitter Local 189 and Sheet metal Local 287 volunteered there time to do the installation. The Bruner Corporation is very proud to be a part of the renovation.
