“Pierce was exceptionally helpful and engaged throughout the design and build process. Even before funding was approved, Pierce department leaders dedicated hours in multiple meetings with our committee to discuss conceptual designs. This collaboration allowed us to build strong relationships and gave Pierce a firsthand understanding of our needs.”
