Thoughtful interior design is critical to firefighter wellness. At Monarch Fire Protection District, our interior design team recently developed spaces that enhance these protectors' lives by promoting relaxation, fitness and comradery. Decisions to incorporate natural daylighting, a nature-inspired materials palette and an intentional floor plan make all the difference to this engine house's vision. ✨ Thanks to our entire team: SSC Engineering, Inc., Civil Design, Inc., Faith Group, LLC, Dermody & Asscoiates LLC. #fgma #StationDesign #InteriorDesign #BiophilicDesign #FireStationDesign #NatureInspired #WeBuildCommunity

A welcoming first impression makes a big difference, and our team delivered just that for a renovation of the large entry at Austin Stone North Church, one of six locations in the Austin Stone Community. The expanded, reoriented entrance of this vibrant church now faces an open courtyard. Our design of the new façade creates a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors with expansive windows. Just inside, a spacious lobby provides room for informal gatherings, adding to the community spirit. Updated finishes throughout enhance the overall atmosphere. The church's worship services continued throughout construction. The warm, inviting entrance now reflects the warmth of the congregation it serves. ✨ Thanks to our whole team on bringing this phase of the project to life: Briley MEP Engineering, LLC and Maritech Engineering, Inc. #fgma #ChurchDesign #ChurchRenovation #GrandEntrance #WeBuildCommunity

The start of school is extra exciting this year for everyone at Euclid Elementary School! Yesterday's ribbon cutting ceremony marked the completion of another great renovation for River Trails School District 26. All the classrooms now have better acoustics (systems are quieter when in operation), improved control of the temperature, enhanced air quality and improved energy efficiency. This was achieved with the installation of a dedicated outside air system that provides a continuous flow of fresh air, and an energy-efficient heating and cooling system that adjusts the amount of refrigerant sent to different parts of a building which allows for precise temperature control in each area that, in addition to energy efficiency, improves user comfort. Two outmoded kindergarten rooms were transformed into a Media Center with small group rooms, teaching areas and movable furniture for flexible learning. Brighter lighting, new flooring, upgraded sprinklers and plumbing as well as a new soccer pitch all helped transform the school into a space that truly reflects the heart of the community it serves. ✨ We couldn't have done this without our project team: Nicholas & Associates, Inc., IMEG, Kibler-AE and JSD Professional Services, Inc.. #fgma #PK12 #RenovatedSchools #SchoolLibrary #RibbonCutting #SchoolCelebration #WeBuildCommunity

Following a space needs and facility condition assessment conducted by FGMA, the Village of Roxana decided that designing and building a new combined Village Hall and Public Safety facility to replace their 1930s era original structure and consolidate all Village services under one roof would best serve the community for the next century and beyond. The new facility features remarkable masonry work: three different modular bricks, each with unique colors and textures, grounded by a sturdy stone base and highlighted with cast stone accents. The use of an overhanging roof at moments of the façade, undulating movement in the street-front elevation and the facility's overall grand scale convey a timeless, steadfast presence on the Village’s main thoroughfare, an embodiment of civic pride. Engraved stone monument signage panels guide visitors throughout the campus while masonry garden walls offer vehicular protection and also represent the strength, stability and accessibility of Roxana. The Village now has a striking, dynamic new hub for local government, police and fire operations and citizen services. The building's character blends monumental and civic architecture with modern design elements, creating an enduring presence at the heart of this southern Illinois community. ✨ We were grateful to have partnered with Becker Masonry, a multi-generational family-owned business, along with RTM Engineering Consultants (formerly BRiC Partnership, LLC), KPFF Consulting Engineers and Curry & Associates Engineers, Inc.

The rise of esports is making its way into the higher education arena, opening up team opportunities to a broader group of students and fostering a sense of belonging and community. We collaborated with Southwestern Illinois College (SWIC) on researching and designing a space for their new esports team – even as they were still building their esports program! The result is a versatile space with the main arena for players located in the center along with practice space, lounge spots, dedicated console game area and a section for table games. LED decorative lighting and branding is carried throughout the space. We are grateful to have created a comfortable environment for students to have an introduction to – and continue in – their esports activities. ✨ Thanks for the awesome work, as always, Engenuity! #fgma #ESports #ProfessionalGaming #ConsoleGaming #ESportsGaming #CollegeESports #WeBuildCommunity
