The firm of Caplea Studio Architects has performed as our Architect of choice for the past twenty years. The type of projects vary from Inspection/construction management to full building planning up to and including complete drawing approval, construction supervision and building commissioning. We have used Caplea for renovation projects throughout the campus, ranging from small departmental renovation to complete demolition and rebuild for large departments. The complete building projects range from Academic buildings to Residence halls to Wellness Centers. The challenges that are placed on the architect in a higher education environment require that the architect work with very close timelines as typically we strive to complete our projects during the summer break. If we aren’t pushing to have our work done during the summer break, we typically build right in the middle of campus and have to phase a project so it is the least inconvenient to our students, staff, and faculty. We have found that Ca plea is able to assess our needs and craft the construction in such a way to satisfy all concerns. Caplea has been involved in over twenty five million dollars of renovation and construction over the past twenty years. We look forward to our continued relationship and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services.
