Higley served as Construction Manager at Risk for the $4.5 million expansion and renovation for the non-profit organization, Boys Hope Girls Hope. The new center will add nearly 30,000 square feet of space for Boys Hope Girls Hope’s programming, enabling it to serve more students, more often. The center will allow space for programming ranging from hands-on STEM learning activities to social and emotional wellness programs to regular home-cooked meals. The project also included new office and administration spaces, a conference center, state-of-the-art technology, and upgraded MEP systems.
