UEB Builders Converts Grand Canyon University Gymnasium into Four Lecture Halls

UEB Builders is working with Grand Canyon University to convert an existing gymnasium building to four (4), 100 person state-of-the-art lecture halls at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ. 

Designed by Orcutt Winslow, each of the four (4) lecture halls includes; three (3) tiered floor areas for professor instruction space and student tables/chairs equipped with individual student power/USB connections; video projection equipment feeding two (2) large video screens at the front of each lecture hall for student instruction viewing; architecturally designed acoustical wing walls and ceiling clouds; tongue & groove maple wood panels along an arched ceiling at the front of each lecture hall above the professor instruction area; IT storage rooms at the rear of each lecture hall; and a central corridor directing student traffic to/from each lecture hall.

UEB Builders Celebrates 7 Successful Years

SCOTTSDALE (June 5, 2012) – On Thursday, May 31, UEB celebrated its seventh birthday by hosting an open house in appreciation of all who helped to achieve this milestone. More than two hundred business partners, clients, friends, and family joined the party. Guests enjoyed “café cuisine” from Postino, a local Italian-influenced wine café, sweet treats from local bakeries, an open bar, and more.

Since opening its doors in 2005, UEB has been fortunate to experience steady growth in the face of the recession. Michael Hurst, UEB Principal reflected: "we've had some challenging moments along the way but we've been lucky enough to get to work with people we really like...on some really cool projects." To commemorate its seventh birthday, the company unveiled its “Evolution of the Brand” exhibit and timeline which showcased milestones along the way, as well as the launch of the recently updated corporate brand identity.

“It's quite overwhelming really...the support we have received from our friends and business partners, and [we] could not have asked for a better turnout this evening,” said Tom Keilty, Principal at UEB Builders. “We look forward to a future filled with meaningful projects and long-lasting client relationships.”

With seven years in the rear view mirror, UEB has renewed its resolve to provide unparalleled construction management services, building on great design.

 

UEB Sets 60 Rooftop Units at Imagine International Academy

On Saturday, June 2, UEB worked with Berger Engineering to set 60 rooftop units (RTUs) at Imagine International Academy in McKinney, TX. Thanks to the entire team's prep work and great communication, the process only took 1 hour and 30 minutes!

With the fast-paced schedule of this build, using a helicopter to set all of the RTUs saved us roughly three days.  Not only did we pick up some time, but it allows the other trades to push onward unhindered while the RTUs are brought to life above them.
