PREVIOUS PROJECT EXPERIENCE Texas A&M University Data Center Renovation College Station, TX $24 M 60, 000 S. F. Building Renovation 2016 Client: University Design/Build The goal of this project was to use the concrete tilt-up shell construction of the existing commissary building and transform it into their campus data center plus a space for co-location. Our team used our extensive expertise to achieve balance between the required design elements, procurement of long lead specialty items, the budget and a challenging construction schedule.

PREVIOUS PROJECT EXPERIENCE 5 9’s Digital Center $28 M 40, 000 s. f.

The base building is constructed of striated precast panels for aesthetics, security and energy efficiencies.

PREVIOUS PROJECT EXPERIENCE Centa Corporation Aurora, IL $4 M 25, 000 s. f. Office Renovation 2015 Private Designer of Record This long-standing client has relied on our expertise from its relocation to a “new” shell industrial building in 2007 to its present office/mezzanine expansion in 2015. This expansion included 7, 000 s. f. office and general use space on a mezzanine level. Special design consideration and challenges were presented when the client expressed the need to introduce natural daylighting into the office areas.
