PK–12

Park District Executive Director

“They listen. They react. They accommodate. Early on in the design process we became aware that our wish list was larger than our budget. FGM developed a multi-optioned phase in plan that provided a road map for future expansion. They were remarkable in their ability to meet various challenges while staying within our budget.”

“They are outstanding at what they do and follow through on all assignments. They are always open to the staff and community input and developing the plans. Most importantly, the work is accurate and timely. Our lead architect knows the key ingredients of successful facility planning and what it takes to work with clients to get results. As a member of the design team, he consistently inspires creativity, teamwork and open communication. I highly recommend FGM to potential clients as we continue to use their services.”

Police Chief

“I have found the staff to be very professional yet friendly. I feel totally at ease asking them any question as we proceed through the process of designing our new police station. I find their knowledge base in the field of law enforcement facilities to be excellent and am constantly amazed at issues they bring up that myself and my staff had not even thought of or considered. I have found them to be more gregarious, friendly and easy to communicate with than other architects I have worked with in the past.”
