This attitude of commitment and cooperation consistently manifested itself in your performance in three key areas: (1) managing the design to stay within the budget, (2) managing the work flow to ensure that schedule commitments were met, and (3) managing staff commitments to ensure quality control was maintained.

Shawn has demonstrated a keen understanding of sustainability, and the policies and planning strategies that can encourage green development in Clinton County.  I would highly recommend Shawn Hesse and emersion DESIGN for any municipality seeking expertise in sustainable planning and policy matters.

But Jim went beyond our requirements. His concept for the building honored its history which originally housed a company that manufactured cigar boxes as well as a variety of other light industries. He designed a new stair tower to clearly announce the “front” of the building, which originally had been its back, walls separating office spaces that honored the integrity of the original building, and even a color scheme that made the outside of the building fit well into the community but still give it distinction. The building has won a number of architectural awards, but just as important, it functions smoothly, engaging our students, their caregivers, our staff and teachers.
