Groundbreaking Ceremony for Lifeline of Ohio Donor Memorial

Darryl Rogers, Peter Krajnak, Matt McClellan and Kent Holloway moved some dirt as they participated in the groundbreaking for the new Donor Memorial that Rogers Krajnak Architects designed for Lifeline of Ohio.  The Donor Memorial celebrates those donors who have shared the “Gift of Life” through organ and tissue donation. Recognizing the “ripple effect” of how one Gift of Life can save many lives, Peter described the key design elements as “A Ripple, A Garden, and A Gift”.  “Ripples” of granite pavers reach out from the circular central fountain, across the plaza and through the garden.  Symbolizing the connection between donor and recipient, these ripples connect with other ripples at the threshold of the Remembrance Room.  Surrounded by the names of those that have given the Gift of Life (which are inscribed in backlit stainless steel panels) the Remembrance Room provides a spiritual place for reflection and remembrance.

On June 12, 2007, representatives from Rogers Krajnak Architects, Inc. were proud to be part of a Clintonville community celebration: the groundbreaking ceremony for the Whetstone Recreation Center. The project will renovate the 1950’s era recreation center, as well as add a new multi-purpose and community room. Rogers Krajnak Architects, Inc. has worked with our client -- the City of Columbus Department of Recreation and Parks -- to develop a design that will bring major updates and new program space to this true community center. Many state, city, and community dignitaries and leaders were on hand to officially kick-off construction of this 5.6 million dollar project. Speakers included; City Council Member Priscilla Tyson, State Representative Jim Hughes, and the Director of Columbus Recreation and Parks Alan McKnight. A large contingent of community residents assisted the dignitaries in turning over the first shovels of dirt for the project.
