Fairview Pavilion. Schenectady, NY

162 Jay St, Schenectady, New York 12305. 518-370-1576, Copyright 2009 Synthesis LLP. All rights reserved.

This community service project for the Bellevue Neighborhood Association, in cooperation with the County of Schenectady, involved the design and fabrication of ironwork for the pavilion in Fairview Park.

Synthesis donated design time and construction management for custom window and door grilles, and the county paid for their fabrication and installation. The open pavilion had been improperly used in the past, and a fire set within it caused the roof to burn and required replacement. The object was to design wrought iron grilles that would compliment the pavilion design and be an aesthetic asset to the park, while inhibiting access to the structure. The four doors can be key-opened for use of the pavilion during public events.
