Neighboring Elementary School Takes Field Trip to Newly Constructed Building at The UA Tech Park at The Bridges

Pueblo Gardens, a PreK-8th grade school in the area, had the incredible opportunity to take a field trip to The Refinery to learn firsthand about new construction, career paths, and what is being built right in their neighborhood. Pueblo Gardens is a highly collaborative school located in The Bridge's surrounding community. Most Pueblo Garden students walk to school or are within driving distance.

These students had the opportunity to dress up as construction workers and tour the working construction site visiting finished building spaces and spaces currently under development. They were quite excited to tour The Refinery building because they have practiced construction furniture and such in the classroom. The visit to the UA Tech Park at The Bridges provided them the opportunity to meet with the building developer The Boyer Company and Core Construction.
