Many colleges and universities are landlocked and look at repurposing existing buildings to meet today’s technology and space needs. Estes is proud of the dramatic transformations made at Palmer College and the urban campus of Scott Community College where older buildings were completely converted into iconic spaces on campus.

Schools trust Estes to build residence halls, classroom spaces and athletic fields that showcase world-class amenities that aid in recruiting students and staff from well beyond the Midwest. As an advocate for boards of trustees, Estes helps sort through cost options, space needs requirements and phasing that lets construction co-exist with students and faculty on campus.
