University of Massachusetts Amherst #architectural students learned about designing with #ConcreteMasonry and differences between poured-in-place concrete and #CMU with Heidi Jandris yesterday. This lecture followed a plant tour at Jandris Block with students last month and is in support of their Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture #ConcreteMasonry Design Competition submissions. We can't wait to see their designs! Thanks to Stephen Schreiber, Brien Baker and Rob Willams for having us!!

Another successful year at the Northeast Hardscape Expo - Come see us if you're attending today!

Our own Heidi Jandris shared her wealth of knowledge about #CMU and #carbon with other #ConcreteMasonry producers at the Concrete Masonry Checkoff and Concrete Masonry & Hardscapes Association #Block Promoters Conference in St. Louis this week.

Think you know block when you see it? You might be surprised! CMU comes in a variety of sizes, textures, tones and finishes for unmatched design flexibility.

The 1990s were marked by bold advancements for Jandris Block. In 1991, Jandris opened a 17,000-square-foot grinding plant, bringing "Ground Face by Jandris" production in-house. This cutting-edge development not only expanded our product line but set the stage for iconic projects. One of our first large-scale ground face projects? The TD Garden. Skeptics questioned whether we could handle such a massive undertaking, but we delivered — turning doubt into one of the smoothest, most successful projects in our history. By 1997, we modernized our original manufacturing plant, replacing decades-old machinery with cutting-edge technology. This upgrade doubled our production capacity, allowing us to meet growing demand while maintaining the quality and craftsmanship we’re known for. Looking back, we’re proud of the foundation these efforts laid for the 21st century. #CMU #ConcreteBlock #ConcreteMasonryUnits #Masonry #GroundFace #BeautyofBlock #FamilyBusiness

Did you know over 125,000 CMUs went into creating the Douglas & Gates Schools in Acton, MA? 🧱 This impressive project, designed by Arrowstreet and built by Fernandes Masonry, Inc., features Ground Face 2501 and P102, Split Face W51, and classic gray block, this build showcases the power of thoughtful design and expert craftsmanship. One standout feature? The striking corbels — protruding CMU elements — that add depth and dimension to the facade. Concrete masonry’s strength and timeless appeal make it an ideal choice for schools, ensuring these buildings remain safe, functional, and inspiring for generations of students. We’re proud to have played a role in building spaces where young minds can grow and thrive. #CMU #ConcreteBlock #ConcreteMasonryUnits #Masonry #GroundFace #ActonMA #BeautyofBlock #Arrowstreet #FernandesMasonry
