Absolute Fire Protection, Inc was a proud participant in the construction of the Nicholas Conservatory & Gardens. The 22,000 square foot facility was a real fire sprinkler engineering challenge given the open glass and steel construction. Everything was custom designed and field fitted to maintain the highest standards of protection and aesthetics. After breaking ground just more than two years ago, The Nicholas Conservatory is set to open on Saturday, 10-29-11. The 22,000 square foot facility will be a new staple on the Rockford Riverfront.
All of it thanks to the more than 1,600 different people who donated to the project. "Over $12 million in private donations," said Rockford Park District Executive Director Tim Dimke. "That says a lot for what the Sinnissippi Riverfront and what the facility means to the entire community and the entire county."
