What We Did
Project Overview
Shri Shirdi Sai Temple of Connecticut needed an interim facility where its growing congregation could gather while the organization continued planning for a permanent temple on the property. As an existing client, the Temple turned to Munger Construction to design and build a practical facility that would meet its immediate needs while supporting its long-term vision for the site.

1

Balancing the Temple’s immediate facility needs with its plans for a larger permanent temple.
