Learn why our complex problem-solving tackles head-scratching issues, so you don't have to.
With over two hundred projects valued in excess of one billion dollars under our tool belts (and expanding every day), you don't have to wonder if you're taking a gamble on us. You're not. Our experience speaks for itself. We pride ourselves on being out-of-the-box thinkers that not only bring our skills to the table, but our intellect, too. We find potential problems before they arise. We provide innovative solutions that are both cost effective and time conscious. We approach each project as its own entity whether it's similar to a previous project or not. We aren't like the other guys. We're not a cheap cost provider. But then again, you can't put a price on quality performance.
Walton High School

Michael R. Hollis Innovation Academy
Michael R. Hollis Innovation Academy approaches community engagement from a different perspective. While one can appreciate the brutalist style of architecture to the former John F. Kennedy Middle School, Hollis Innovation Academy requires something different. Adding curtainwall to the existing concrete structure brings natural light into the reconfigured spaces. Inside the school is an operations existing open healthcare clinic. Working around this space we have seen how making healthcare accessible to the community fosters a better learning environment. By engaging the community from all sides the Michael R. Hollis academy is changing lives and we are grateful to be a small part of that process.
Ronald E. McNair Middle School
The new Ronald E. McNair Middle School epitomizes innovation in every way. The replacement school is the first Future-Ready school in the County.

Evergreen was highly collaborative with the full project team throughout the job. We remained flexible with the schedule to allow more time during the planning and programming phases to ensure the design was just right before mobilizing. Our team worked in tandem with our subs to prepare look ahead schedules, following the critical path of the project to make sure we delivered on time, allowing the school time to move in and for the teachers to ready their classrooms before the first day of school.
