“WE MUST ABANDON THE THINKING THAT THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH MONEY TO DO A THING RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, WHEN SOMEHOW WE ALWAYS FIND MONEY TO FIX THE PROBLEMS ON THE BACK END, WHEN THE COSTS ARE FAR GREATER.”
― JOHN PORRETTO

Building Well

Fairness, respect and stewardship. These are the principles to which we are committed. The fairness of competent, compassionate and ethical leadership. Respect for the needs of individuals and communities. The highest standards of stewardship for financial and environmental resources.

Buildings constructed to achieve the lofty missions of education, health care and research should reflect leadership in creating and maintaining model environments that honor the physical and mental well-being of all who enter. These facilities should be built to endure for generations to come.

Hasty designs based principally on immediate construction costs contribute to facilities that are harmful to health, poorly designed and expensive to operate and maintain.

We can do better. We must.
