How do you fit a building footprint the size of three football fields, large parking lots and athletic fields on a site with 90’ of fall across it and bisected by an existing gas main? E&A solved this challenge by creating multiple tiers for the various uses while also maintaining no grade change over the existing gas main.

"E&A worked closely with our design team to deliver Papillion-La Vista Community Schools their first completely new middle school facility in more than 40 years. Throughout that process the E&A team added value not only to the project itself but also via coordination with the development of the neighborhood properties and public improvements. "
