A special project is a pro bono design for a local memorial honoring Berwyn's war veterans. It is a three-phase project including an arch, memorabilia from local veterans to be collected by local students, and plans for future development.

The flag-bearing arch is situated at the foot of a pedestrian bridge near the train station, engaging pedestrian and vehicular traffic along the well-traveled business corridor of Route 30; see the profile in our portfolio and visit the Memorial Website here.

Fundraising efforts are continuing to maintain and exand the Memorial in the future. Tax-deductible contributions may be sent to Lyman Perry Architects, Ltd., 42 Cassatt Avenue, Berwyn PA 19312. Check should be made payable to Berwyn Veterans Memorial.

We're continuing a 20 year relationship with Morris Arboretum to do schematic design for a multi-phase project to build a new Horticulture and Facilities Center. Located in the Bloomfield Farm section of the Arboretum, the proposed building will provide classroom and meeting space, offices and employee support spaces for the Facilies Department, a carpentry shop, a vehicle maintenance shop, and garage storage space for vehicles and equipment. Parking will be expanded to support all of these new functions.

This year, the Arboretum was given a donation which would provide funding to build a new, paved roadway from Northwestern Avenue to the proposed location of the facility, upgrade utility services in anticipation of the new building, pave the parking area around the existing concrete parking pad, and create parking for Facilities Employees. Construction is planned for this fall.

The Arboretum is continuing its fundraising efforts for the new Center, with the goal to start construction within the next 2-4 years.
