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

Kindness, empathy and respect in (and, of course, outside of) the workplace anchor a strong community. We recognize the impact of having a voice and providing a safe space to contribute is key to our success as a firm. Take it from our team: civility in the workplace begins with valuing diverse experiences that together drive greater success. We honor National Civility Month by acknowledging how important it is that our individual opinions are received with careful consideration and thoughtful listening. #fgma #NationalCivilityMonth #CivilityAtWork #Consensus #YourVoiceMatters #WeBuildCommunity

As communities grow and thrive, schools must grow in kind to meet community education needs. When Litchfield, Illinois saw increasing enrollment in their schools, we conducted a Health/Life Safety assessment in conjunction with a feasibility study for their school district (Litchfield Community Unit School District 12). Phase 1 included a new Elementary School for second through fifth grades, designed by FGMA and completed in 2023. Phase Two of the plan involved an addition and renovation of the existing Colt Elementary School, renamed to Litchfield Early Childhood Center, to house Pre-Kindergarten through first grade. The District welcomed students and the community to a grand opening yesterday, just in time to kick off the new school year. Project Highlights: >> Six additional classrooms that meet ICC-500 storm shelter requirements >> Reconfigured administration area for an improved, secure entry >> New HVAC, fire protection, plumbing and electrical systems >> Flooring, lighting, roofing and window replacements >> The overall design is future-ready for solar panel implementation Congratulations to the District on their dedicated investment in their children’s education. What a great start to the school year! ✨ As always, many thanks to our project team: Engenuity, Civil Design, Inc., ASDG, LLC (a Structural Design Group) #fgma #PK12Design #PK12 #BackToSchool #DesignForEducation #WeBuildCommunity

Streamwood Police Department (Village Of Streamwood) is getting a facelift! Phase one of the renovation is complete, and the difference is remarkable. This phase included relocating the Department's report writing area, training simulation room and display case in the lobby for fallen and retired officers. Details of minor finishes in various rooms - including the training room and administrative suites - create the finishing touch that provide officers and staff an improved place to work and learn. Phase two is underway, which includes renovation construction on the men's and women's locker rooms. ✨ As always, thank you to our amazing project team: Pinnacle Engineering Group and WT Group . #fgma #PoliceStationDesign #Renovation #SimulationRoom #MunicipalDesign #WeBuildCommunity

In the year since its grand opening, the South Central Illinois (SCI) Regional Workforce Training and Innovation Center has enrolled countless new students in its trade programs. The Center boasts a full-scale auto garage, welding center and training for an Illinois Laborers & Contractor’s apprenticeship. Students of all ages and displaced workers have the opportunity to learn in-demand skills that meet the needs of the regional workforce. What Governor JB Pritzker said at the grand opening will ring true for decades to come: “These are the types of strategic investments that build our workers’ skills to take the jobs available right now in high growth industries of the future. And most importantly, this puts Illinois at the forefront of economic progress in the nation.” ✨ As always, we appreciate the amazing project partners we get to work with: Engenuity, Civil Design, Inc. and ASDG, LLC (a Structural Design Group). #fgma #SkilledTrades #HigherEducation #AccessibleEducation #WeBuildCommunity
