Project Description

One of the first OFCC design-build projects, SHP delivered an open, flexible environment to better serve the client’s STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) program and student needs. The project included a 52,886 square foot expansion and renovation of a former big box retail space. SHP had to address over $800,000 of life safety improvements before the project could move forward with its aggressive 8-month schedule. The project was still finished on time and within the budget.
