3D Design - For an action packed view of your process
A 3D view of your food process leaves a lot less to the imagination. We’ll give you a front row seat and together examine how it’s going to work. You can revise it, improve it, and share it with the project team. It’s software… with hard core advantages.
Making clients successful by saving them time trouble and money
We look at each stage of a project, each service, as an opportunity to save clients time, trouble, and money. The metrics below indicate an amount of savings --some represent a single effort or idea, others are a total of multiple savings on a given project.
Toledo, Ohio, January 27, 2012— SSOE Group (www.ssoe.com), an international engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCM) firm, was recently honored with a citation award for their design of Sylvania School District’s Northview High School Performing Arts addition and renovation project.
SSOE’s lead architect for the Performing Arts Center, Tim Swartz, is proud to bring additional recognition to the architectural capabilities of SSOE. “SSOE is often times thought of as only providing engineering and construction management services, so it is great we can also be acknowledged for our achievements in architecture,” Swartz said. The new Performing Arts center sits on the bluff of the Ottawa River allowing for dramatic views of the building which enabled SSOE architects to take advantage of natural topography of the site.
Upgrading a building of that age and comprehensively addressing the needs and requirements of the school, while working within a limited site, brought a number of challenges. “It was very rewarding to overcome those challenges to allow teachers and students to enjoy a customized learning environment to continue their prestigious performing arts program,” noted Ken Schumaker, SSOE’s Design Architect for the project. The renovated Performing Arts Center is three times the original building size.
In addition to the Northview High School Performing Arts project, SSOE is also responsible for the renovations and additions to Southview High School, McCord Junior High, Arbor Hills Junior High, the new Maplewood Elementary, Hill View Elementary, Central Elementary School, and a new administration office. These projects include new science laboratories, a cosmetology laboratory, and classrooms.

Nashville, TN, January 26, 2012— SSOE Group (www.ssoe.com), an international engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCM) firm, announced today that it has received two 2011 Excellence in Construction Awards from the Mid-Tennessee Chapter of the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC). SSOE was awarded these honors for their design of the Austin Peay Hemlock Building renovations located in Clarksville, Tennessee and the new Tallahassee Memorial Cancer Center in Florida. SSOE was chosen as a recipient for these awards based on innovative, high quality work where safety played an important role in the overall construction process.
SSOE was responsible for design of the nearly $2 million renovations of the Austin Peay Hemlock Building – a 5,000 SF student training laboratory built to simulate the lab of a working facility. With a compressed schedule of only seven weeks to complete this installation, SSOE and contracting company, The Comfort Group, worked around the clock to deliver the project on time.
Working with local Tennessee contractor, Robins & Morton, SSOE also performed the design of the new Tallahassee Memorial Cancer Center. Many sustainable features, including the use of 92% recycled structural steel, were incorporated into the 52,000 SF building which was awarded LEED® Silver certification in April 2011.
The ABC Excellence in Construction Award seeks to recognize the entire construction team – construction owners, designers, and contractors–working in collaboration to successfully complete a project on-time, with exceptional quality, and in a cost-effective manner. Entries were submitted by providing a project narrative and detailed description of the construction process used – with specific attention to new processes, time, and space restrictions, and special challenges faced to complete the project. The awards were presented to both project teams at the annual Awards of Excellence Banquet held on Thursday, November 10, 2011 in the Nashville Airport Marriott. Award recipients at the chapter level were then eligible to enter projects in the ABC National competition which is to take place in February, 2012.

SSOE was recognized for this award based on their corporate-wide commitment to work-life balance. The company’s mission includes an Employee Value Proposition (EVP) which was a key factor in being honored. SSOE’s EVP emphasizes: wealth sharing, skill development, career progression, total compensation, and total benefits – including health and wellness. “Our Employee Value Proposition is a commitment to the full range of offerings our employees seek—going beyond a simple compensation number. It includes a promise to employees that they can enjoy a balanced and flexible work experience and includes the practical programs and practices that give them the choices they need to accommodate their lifestyle. Whether an employee is new to SSOE or close to retirement, there are programs suited to all life stages,” said Lisa Estep, Manager, Employee Benefits at SSOE.
