The Coral Desert Medical Campus is underway with the first building, the Coral Desert Health Center, under construction in St. George, Utah. The campus, which is located across from the Dixie Regional Medical Center, will house a wide range of medical professionals and services.
The 54,000-sq.-ft. health center is three levels, with a steel-frame structure and EIFS and glass curtain wall exterior. The building's architecture and color schemes were designed to complement the surrounding developments.

The Lehi High School project was a multiphase major expansion involving additions at four separate locations on the existing building. Major additions to the facility include a two-story classroom; commons and administration area; wrestling, fitness and receiving area; and a drama theater area. The new commons addition adds a magnificent entrance and focal point to the existing facility.
Major renovation work consisted of a complete kitchen and locker-room remodels. Additionally, the existing science classrooms were converted into art and other types of classroom space. The seating in the auditorium was refurbished, and a light-control balcony was added. There were also additions to and renovation of the existing parking and bus unloading spaces.
The work required extensive coordination between the general contractor, the school district construction coordinator and Lehi High School administration. These efforts have allowed school to be in session while the construction work progresses on schedule.
