Working with the DPR staff has been a first-class experience. Their professionalism and attention to detail is unbelievable. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with them as the Fanning Center quickly moves towards completion and possible future projects.

From my standpoint, DPR has been a pleasure to work with thus far on the Fanning Student-Athlete Performance Center project. They have been proactive in their planning and communication and have been very accommodating to the needs of our fans, football coaches, staff and student-athletes during this project. They have been true partners to GTAA in identifying solutions and compromises when necessary to keep the project on track without unnecessary disruptions to our day-to-day operations. This is exactly the approach we need in a general contractor for any project we undertake.
