Making their mark.
Community members gathered throughout the afternoon to take part in this meaningful milestone—signing the hoist beam that will be placed within the elevator shaft, symbolizing the heart of the building and the collective spirit behind its creation. The event offered residents and families the opportunity to leave a lasting mark on a project that represents Gretna’s continued growth and investment in its future.
The event began with remarks from the Mayor, joined by local dignitaries and community leaders, setting the tone for a celebration rooted in connection and shared pride. Families, neighbors, and project partners came together to sign the beam, while younger attendees enjoyed custom coloring sheets created to commemorate the occasion.
As designers of the Gretna Community Complex, Sinclair Hille Architects was honored to be part of such a memorable event. Moments like these reflect the power of collaboration and engaged listening—bringing a community together not just to build a facility, but to create something truly meaningful.
We are grateful to have shared in this special day and look forward to seeing the Gretna Community Complex continue to take shape as a space where life unfolds for years to come.
