To achieve an important strategic goal of establishing a first-class science and math education program for women, Ursuline mounted a capital campaign that attracted funding from The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and many other well-known donors.  Site constraints and zoning restrictions limited the planning options, and added challenges to construction sequencing and staging.  

Buildling Solutions saved Ursuline upwards of $2.5 million on the first two phases, by exercising its construction knowledge and project management skills.  Areas for savings ranged from purchasing strategy of the temporary classrooms, management of furniture and technology specification, and contractor sourcing for the Music Building package. Through management of the LEED certification effort, the cost of enhancements instigated by the LEED rating system was less than 1% of the total project cost, and provides an ongoing payback.
