Cutting-Edge Performing Arts Theaters
BGW designed spaces that matched who we were as a school and a community. They’ve been working with Christian Schools for so long that they really understand the needs and the value proposition we’re trying to offer our families. Our new facility speaks so strongly to the quality and excellence of our education and it’s allowing us to get new people in the door and talk to them about our vision.

I was really impressed with BGW’s charrette design process for our theater and gym projects. Our designer, Austin Fredrickson, really knocked it out of the park. His level of detail, his ability to listen to our needs, and the designs he delivered for us were all exceptional! The final design team was fabulous! We were able to breeze through the city review process and each of the buildings came in under budget.

State-of-the Art Athletic Facilities
Several years ago, it was evident that we needed a new gathering space for students as well as a new cafeteria and gym for recreational space. We sat down with BGW in what’s known as a charrette and in one weekend came up with this amazing building that has absolutely blessed this college and this community and the students that we serve.

We are thrilled with our new Field House, athletic field and classrooms. God has blessed this project from the beginning. We had a great experience working with the design team at BGW and God willing there will be more opportunities for us to work together in the future. Great job everyone!

High Tech Classrooms and Science Labs
Don Mahoney and his team at BGW brought professionalism and design expertise to the process of creating a new Science & Nursing building for our University. It was clear that his years of experience in the field came together to help us get the best facility that we could afford. I highly recommend Don and his team for any design task.

It was such a joy to know BGW and to see their heart for the Lord and for souls who need him. It was eye-opening for many to realize that this project was about more than the building – it was about the souls of those who did the work.
