Aspen Group took a vacant warehouse and transformed it into a cutting-edge school in nine months. Working closely with the school administration, Aspen architects created an interior layout that inspires thought and community. They organized the school into “pods”, each with a central gathering place flooded with natural light from above. Classrooms are arranged around each pod and vibrant colors are used to stimulate creativity.

Due to the unknowns, renovating an existing structure presents greater challenges than new construction. Aspen’s design/build arrangement proved to be key to keeping the project on schedule and on budget.

“Choosing Aspen Group has proven to be the best move we have made. What they told us is true. They really do have a heart for ministry and they are doing what they said they would do…. I, frankly, am unbelievably pleased with Aspen.” – Paul House, Superintendent.
