From the early conceptual stages, you understood our culture which fosters maturity and school spirit. Designing academic spaces that allowed our students to take ownership of their learning, your team aided in cultivating a more enriched educational experience that will serve them in the classroom and beyond.

Head of School | Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy

Thank you for the hard work and continued partnership with Advarra! I am so proud of what this company has become and I really think our Corporate HQ will be the next iteration in setting a corporate culture for the next decade! A personal thank you to you and Elevar for helping partner with Advarra to set the tone!

Scott E. Uebele, CEO | Advarra

From our offices, to lab spaces, to support spaces like our new kitchen and collaborative break out areas, our employees are affected by their surroundings – and in turn, this affects productivity and performance. We are proud to say that we now have spaces that match the caliber of work our staff carries out daily.

Chris Leedy, VP | Pilot Chemical

What I appreciate most is that your team truly listened to our needs. Your design team used creative thinking to provide us with current, cost effective solutions to operate our buildings efficiently.

Michael Brandt, Former Superintendent | Riverview East Academy

When we embarked on planning much needed renovations to our school in order to transform the SUA campus, your team was recommended to us as a reliable and talented group of designers. When we hired your team to manage the renovations to St. Angela Hall, our theater, we knew from the very start that we made the right decision to work with Elevar on this complicated project.

Lelia Keefe Kramer, President | St. Ursula Academy
