Project Highlights

Situated along the remote, windswept coast of the Arctic Ocean in northern Alaska, this ambitious project encompasses the renovation and expansion of a two-story office building that must withstand some of the harshest conditions on earth. With this project, our team delivered modern offices, secure storage, and improved public access while navigating the intense logistical hurdles of Arctic construction.

  • Renovated and expanded a two-story government facility.
  • Added new reception area, ADA-compliant lift, and secure document storage.
  • Built a new entry ramp and stairway engineered for durability in icy, permafrost-prone terrain, along with replacing an external emergency escape stairway.
  • Transported most materials via air cargo or seasonal snow roads.
  • Designed for occupant comfort, energy efficiency, and operational resilience.
