TNG Featured on We Are ND
This week, The Narrow Gate was featured on the University of Notre Dame's new website, "We Are ND", which highlights alumni accomplishments.
The article profiles the firm’s history through present day, beginning over 30 years ago. It highlights some of our biggest moments, as well as Bob, Kitty, and Neal’s original motives for starting their own firm dedicated to designing for underserved populations.
"When Kitty Ryan ’79, Bob Wegener ’80, and Neal Mongold ’80 were architecture students at Notre Dame, they knew each other as merely friendly acquaintances. But when they each moved to Boston after graduation, they kept running into each other — almost like they couldn’t avoid each other.
Ryan and Wegener were coworkers at one architecture firm, and a few years later, Mongold was their boss at a neighborhood community development corporation where they all worked together on affordable housing units. Once, they realized that all three of them had applied for the same job designing affordable housing.
And they kept crossing paths in their social lives, too: at The Paulist Center Catholic Church that they all attended, in a weekly faith and social justice discussion group in the city, and volunteering in the soup kitchen at Boston’s Catholic Worker House."
