Contegra Graduates with Honors from Sanford-Brown

At Contegra, we always try to meet the needs of our clients. As a design/build contractor for Sanford-Brown College’s recently completed new headquarters in Fenton, Mo., we successfully performed turn-key site preparation and construction services. Sanford Brown College offers short-term, degree and non-degree programs in allied health, business and information technology. The new facility can accommodate up to 2,000 students.

However, after the project was completely designed and under construction, Sanford-Brown asked for an in-house working ambulance so students could attend injured victims in a simulated moving vehicle and become better prepared when they started working in their field. We modified our work schedule on the construction of the front curtain wall of green-tinted glass and its framing, and when the timing was right, we installed the ambulance then the front wall.
