Client Testimonial
"I know this review sounds a bit too one-sided, biased or overrated. The truth is I believe everything I have written here. The experience in this project is unlike anything the District has experienced before. Prior to this project, I vetted them out and visited 5 sites of their prior work between San Jose and Roseville. Talking with my peers back then made me very comfortable pushing them forward to our board. They competed against many high-quality firms that I fully trust to do great work. The difference is their understanding of their clients and their company philosophy. They are a tight-nit, a highly-qualified communicative company that’s competence is unparalleled. I urge you to visit some of their recent projects and interview the clients. I would be surprised if they were any different than my perspective above."

The existing Brownell Middle School campus encompasses approximately 17.5 acres and was reconfigured into a new middle school through a combination of new construction and modernization. New facilities include six classroom buildings, an administration building, a library/media center, and a kitchen addition to the existing multipurpose building. Additional construction included a new staff parking lot at the north end of the campus and a staff and visitor parking lot at the west end, providing approximately 100 parking stalls, along with new school signage, a marquee sign, and multiple independent custom shade structures.
Modernization and site improvements included upgrades to the existing multipurpose building, gymnasium, PE and athletic facilities, pedestrian hardscape, landscaping, drop-off facilities along the west and east sides of the school, and new on-site utilities. Demolition work included six classroom buildings, 13 portable buildings, the existing library, food service/kitchen facility, and a greenhouse, resulting in a total of 37 classrooms demolished and replaced.
