A celebration was certainly in order.

Last night, our new Central Michigan office in East Lansing opened its doors to clients, partners, and friends. After years of growth across West, Southwest, and Northern Michigan, it meant a lot to share this next chapter with the people who helped make it possible.

Growing never means compromising on the experience we build. Yes, that experience shows up in our craftsmanship. Just as important, it shows up in the collaboration, community, and celebration that come once the work is done right.

Students at Cypress Lake Middle School are officially home!

Last week, we celebrated the ribbon cutting for the rebuilt campus alongside students, teachers, staff, former staff, and community members. This Monday, students who had been learning in portables settled into their new classrooms.

Wrapped in vibrant yellow, white, and purple, the new campus spreads classrooms and specialty spaces, including an orchestra room, dance studio, and media room, across three floors. As one of the district's three middle school arts centers, Cypress Lake now has dance and music spaces twice their previous size, giving students more room to grow, create, and discover what they're capable of.

Special thanks to Principal Matt Miller, a driving force behind this project from approval to completion, and to Grace Design Studios, our partner in bringing it to life. Thank you to the School District of Lee County for trusting us to build a home worthy of these students.

The schools we build are the schools our own kids walk into.

Meet the O-A-K team and their kids as they geared up for back-to-school. From kindergartners to college freshmen, these first-day photos are a good reminder of why our work matters: a majority of what we build is K12 schools, right in the communities where our own families live and learn.
