his year the children and adults in the educational programs at Our Lady of
Mercy Community Outreach will enjoy a more functional learning environment.
In November, the Johns Island nonprofit participated in Trident United Ways
Day of Caring (DoC). As part of the DoC a group of architects from LS3P volunteered
to upgrade the classroom space at the Outreachs main facility. The architects not only
designed the space modifications, donated all the materials (and two PCs), but also
conducted the redesign themselves. Their projects included installing large bulletin
boards, room dividers, and panels reducing noise. The DoC project was a perfect example
of a collaboration between a local for-profit company and a charitable organization.
For more information about the educational and wellness programs offered at
OLMCOS please contact 843.559.4109.
