The Scope
Challenges & Resolutions
The Challenge Center was one component of a very large community center facility, so RGI needed to provide a unique space that would still incorporate into the existing building. The Challenge Center was also a very untraditional project with many moving parts. The RGI team worked closely with the overall project team to create a complex and detailed museum quality design with intricate engineering features.
RGI met with the owner and developed the necessary criteria to define quality design and the functionality/constructability for such a unique project. Clear communication with the owner, as well as the other teams working on the larger project, proved key to providing the quality that the owner expected.
