Stevens Square at Baxter Woods

10/23/2026

Fall is still putting on a beautiful show at Stevens Square. 🍂

From golden leaves to pops of red, the colors around our 19-acre campus make fall a lovely time to enjoy a stroll through campus and the peaceful trails of Baxter Woods, to spend time outdoors, and pause to take in the views. And with activities and community gatherings throughout the seasons, there’s always something happening at Stevens Square.

A September stroll around Stevens Square at Baxter Woods. 🌿🍂

Flowers in bloom. A quiet path. A favorite bench. And just a hint of fall in the air.

There’s something special about having places to wander, pause and enjoy the changing seasons right here at home.

Level 5 paneling is going in at Stevens Square!

We're framing with prefab wall panels, built square and true off-site, then set in place by the crew up top. This process keeps a job moving: tighter tolerances, less weather exposure while the structure goes up, and a faster, safer sequence in the field.

With the top floor going up, the roof is next. More updates to come.
