On Friday, June 9 Nora’s Home, a place for organ failure and transplant patients receiving care in the Texas Medical Center, held a groundbreaking ceremony for the facility’s Phase 2 expansion. The 15,600 SF space will enlarge the home, adding 16 additional guest rooms, a communal kitchen, expanded storage space, administrative offices and a wing dedicated to lung transplant recipients. Attending along with the Nora’s Home team was Landmark Architects, S&P and numerous Nora’s Home supporters.

S&P once again teamed with Rey de la Reza Architects to compete in the annual AIA Sandcastle Competition in Galveston, TX. The annual event is a fund-raising event for AIA Houston and the ArCH Foundation as well as one of the top five revenue generating events for the City of Galveston. Our team began working months in advance generating ideas, developing designs, and assigning duties. On the day of the event the teams, stretched along the beach front, meticulously sculpt their piles of sand and work non-stop for five hours. Employees and their families enjoyed a beautiful day on the beach, and all for a great cause!

Work on the new Madison High School is underway. S&P crews have demolished athletic fields and begun construction on a new parking lot across the street from the current building. The work is part of the project’s first phase, which also includes construction of the new high school. Construction of the $93.9 million new school is part of the voter-approved 2012 Bond Program. According to design plans, the two-story building will be built facing West Orem Drive on the school’s existing athletic fields.
