“It’s been a pleasure to partner with Compass Project Management and Arrowstreet on this project,” said Carolyn Kimball, Dellbrook|JKS project manager. “It’s great to see everyone contribute their own unique experience and collaborate to create the highest value school for Alma.”
The project was designed and will be built utilizing extensive sound control measures to eliminate ambient city noise and will feature environmental graphics that will cost effectively enliven the interior spaces.
The building is expected to be completed by January 2022.
