What was your initial project with ODA Studio? Renovation of Marilyn Fox Building and renovation and new construction of Staenberg Family Complex.

Describe your partnership with ODA Studio.  Our relationship has grown to becoming “partners” over the years more so than a client working with a “contractor”. I say this since we have utilized ODA Studio with numerous different projects over the years and we consider them part of our administrative “family” when making decisions as it pertains to facility renovations, new construction, updates, ambiance, interior design, etc.
