Over 800 families, friends and firms came together in support of a new middle school
building for SAAS, designed by LMN Architects. In the spirit of the school, every
donor — no matter what the size of their gift — received equal recognition on this unique installation made up of hundreds of etched disks. The design suggests a flowing and energetic collective of people, working collaboratively for the school. Blank disks are
included throughout, to accommodate and encourage future donors to the school.
