Students are pulling out shovels and digging something new on Milwaukee\u2019s Northwest side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Granville Lutheran School, a Christ-centered K-8 run by LUMIN Schools, and Menomonee Falls-based J.H. Hassinger Construction officially began building a student-designed meditation garden Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students planned, budgeted and designed the garden as part of J.H. Hassinger Construction\u2019s \u201cThere\u2019s a Place for Everyone in Construction\u201d program, which introduced Granville Lutheran students to the construction field through education and hands-on activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

J.H. Hassinger Construction is hoping to finish building in late June, said Jennifer Delaporte, director of business development at J.H. Hassinger Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students worked in teams to create several designs before pitching them to judges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eighth-grader Noel Payton led the team with the winning design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The site used to house a small bird sanctuary. Delaporte said the new garden is an upgrade to the bird sanctuary and will be lined with perennials and roses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noel\u2019s team will incorporate several stones engraved with Bible verses for students to reflect on as they meditate and pray in the garden, Delaporte said.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The garden is a manifestation of “There\u2019s a Place for Everyone in Construction,” a first-of-its-kind program formed to address inequity and job shortages in the construction industry by La\u2019Ketta Caldwell, director of the Opportunity Academy at LUMIN Schools, and Delaporte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noel and other students learned how to design within a budget, scale projects to the right size and pitch designs, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
