The garden on the north side of the building is dedicated to Suzanne O'Brien, one of the founders of Greystone Construction. Suzanne passed away in 2019. This garden was designed to reflect Suzanne's strong faith, calming presence, and her playful nature -- these qualities were instrumental in guiding Greystone from a startup in 1987 to the company Greystone has become today.
