Marble Of The World donates to Lynn University Remembrance Plaza
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL -- On a humanitarian mission in January 2010, 12 Lynn University students and two faculty members went on the "Journey of Hope" to Haiti. Even though they arrived just a day before the deadly earthquake, they had time to make a difference at a school for the handicapped and a girls' orphanage. A 7.0 earthquake tragically interrupted their plans, taking the lives of four students and two professors. In honor of those students and faculty members, Lynn University embarked on designing and constructing the Lynn University Remembrance Plaza on its Boca Raton, FL, campus, which features a magnificent monument constructed of exotic stone, prisms, cascading water and a reflection pool.
For the construction of this monument, Marble Of The World donated exotic stone valued at more than $250,000. Designed by renowned Sousa Architecture, the Remembrance Plaza will be a place of remembrance, reflection and inspiration for generations to come.
