Small, well-done improvements often have a huge impact on the end-user and plant the seed for a longstanding relationship between contractor and owner.

“Relationship” and “partnership” are words that come up often when describing 16 years of off and on construction for the Seattle Academy of Arts & Sciences [SAAS]. The relationship began in 2001 with an expansion project, a multi-level gymnasium at the center of their Capitol Hill campus.

Delivering Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences’ new STREAM building [Science, Technology, Robotics, Engineering, Art and Math] is one of the most rewarding experiences of my career to date. It’s a beautiful building; a true product of collaboration, vision and inspiration that the students, faculty and parents of SAAS are thrilled with.
