One of the many strengths the architect brought to the project was creative thinking within the context of physical space limitations. Beginning with the earliest phases of needs assessment and facility analysis, the architects professional staff listened intently to the words and ideas of the Board, faculty, analysis, staff, and administration. They encouraged all of our groups to look forward and to imagine what the educational environment could be in decades ahead. Their broad knowledge and skill in school design was evident throughout our project. The goal achieved was a completely updated and expanded school facility that has been received by the community as a success. The actual construction activity of the project, originally projected to take three years, was completed in two years. The architect was timely in their design and planning so that the information needed was provided to keep construction moving forward.
