Construction is officially underway on Carroll University's Sullivan School of Business, Engineering, and Technology facility! GRAEF is proud to partner with Kahler Slater and VJS Construction Services, providing structural engineering, civil engineering, landscape architecture, and traffic engineering services.

Once complete, the new facility will bring together business, computer science, aviation science, drone technology, artificial intelligence, and engineering programs under one roof, helping prepare the next generation of innovators and addressing the growing need for qualified engineers.

We're excited to see this transformational project take shape and look forward to following its progress!

A group from our Milwaukee office recently volunteered at the Wisconsin Humane Society, spending time with adoptable animals and creating fleece blankets to provide comfort while they await their fur-ever homes. 🐾

We're proud to support organizations that make a difference in the lives of animals and our community. Great work, team!

The Milwaukee Art Museum serves as a Milwaukee staple.

With its four floors and over 40 galleries, the art museum is home to over 30,000 works of art. The building itself is a work of art with its 90-ton wings that mimic the wings of a giant bird and a vaulted, glass-enclosed reception hall. But how did it come to be?

We're excited to share GRAEF's feature on the Smithsonian Channel series "How Did They Build That?" GRAEF is honored to have been one of the many teams that contributed to this landmark project, and we're proud to help tell the story of its design and construction.
