New to the Neighborhood

 

It took about a year and a half to build this building but it is finally done.  It's the new headquarters for  Helios Education Foundation an organization that operates in Arizona and Florida.  The Helios organization studies inequities in education and develop solutions to overcome those inequities.  They collaborate with other educational organizations with a goal to increase college enrollment for all children in the two states.

The building is so large that at first I thought they were going to have classrooms in side. (That white space behind the copper building is also part of the building.)  I was wrong, they use the space as meeting space in order to collaborate with other organizations with the same goals.  Some of those organizations might even be housed inside this facility.  Check the link if you want to know more.

That DOES look like a huge structure. How many meetings are they having?!

It's definitely a strange looking modern building but not out of place.
