Premier SIPS named #1 Structural Brand by Green Builder!

Build Fast & Tight

Have you ever needed to meet dual challenges of rapid construction and high energy efficiency?  Take a look at our Little Big Horn College Health and Wellness Center project located in Montana.  

The center’s design and construction team, working under an Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) approach, faced these same two substantial challenges:  undertaking the construction under a constricted timeline during a harsh Montana winter and making a building with large open spaces energy efficient.  Further than these challenges, the college wanted a building design that would reflect the tribe’s community and cultural values, as well as demonstrate the center’s role in supporting healthy living.
