3. ADA RAMP SUNY FARMINGDALE ADA RAMP: accessible route into a public domain
4. AGGREGATE SUNY FARMINGDALE WALKER PARK Aggregate: materials used in construction, including sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, or recycled crushed concrete (make up the bulk of a cementations mixture like concrete, plaster, or asphalt)
