Madison High School

Madison High School serves as a major academic hub for 2,100 students and faculty. The 264,000-square-foot facility is constructed on the high school’s existing site and offers career pathways in environmental science professions and robotics. The design concept stems from the desire for the school to be the flexible core of the community, projecting a positive future for its students.

Over 40 separate tenant groups were integrated along with nearly 2,000 staff members from multiple MD Anderson facilities.

Texas A&M University - Cain Hall Redevelopment

This project consisted of a Public-Private-Partnership or P3 to deliver to the TAMU System a 1,400+, 5-story parking garage in time for the 2016 college football season. Demolition of the former Cain Hall dormitory, which was converted into Student Services offices, began November 16, 2015. The project also required relocating several existing utilities and upgrading some of them to meet the additional demand loads of the new garage and two other new facilities yet to be built.
