With an extensive history in higher education, Forell Elsesser is recognized as one of the leaders in meeting the specific needs of College and University clients. From large-scale stadiums and sports arenas to laboratory classrooms, libraries and administrative offices, Forell Elsesser understands the conditions often present when constructing buildings on tight sites within existing campuses. From the retrofit of old “campus gems” to the new construction of seismically sound additions to a main entryway, we are always searching for the best way to serve the leaders of tomorrow.
