It's the little things that count, right? Painting a high school gym is not the biggest, nor most exciting project we've ever put our stamp on, but the gym at Mira Mesa High School was long overdue. Due to a construction mix-up between two identical campuses being constructed at the same time, Mira Mesa High School ended up being painted the wrong colors! Finally, after almost 40 years of living with this mix-up, the gym got a fresh coat of paint and boy is it looking bright, clean and refreshed.

The elevator was installed today at the Press Box for the Mission Bay High School project. Cool video!

Here are some photos of the recently completed Gymnasium and Administration/Classroom Buildings we did for Sweetwater Unified School District. It was a design-build project that was delivered on time and within budget! Needless to say, the students and staff are THRILLED with their new facilities!

It seems like just yesterday we were breaking ground on this project and now it's time for the Grand Opening!

They started installing the parquet floor for the basketball court at the gym. It's going to be stunning.

Caisson's are being drilled for the Stadium Upgrade project at Mission Bay High School.
