Our school district loves our new facility. Martin Gardner Architecture paid attention to our needs and exercised extreme care in helping us realize our goals. They played a key role in bringing our idea into fruition. I was impressed with how smoothly the project went from start to finish and their ability to keep the project on task. MGA maintained excellent communication with me and my staff during the project which helped keep stress levels at a minimum. They have a great process and their professional service and quality did not wane throughout any part of the project. They are insightful, professional, courteous, and enjoyable to work with. We hope to work with them again on more successful projects.

We enlisted the architectural and interior design of Martin Design, P.C. in the Milestones in Marion Adult Day Services program. We found them to be an outstanding asset to the overall project. Dave and Sarah were easy to work with. They paid great attention to detail, researching the newest design techniques and rules of the industry. Milestones in Marion, was the first Adult Day Service Center constructed under new state regulations and the facility met and exceeded the regulations. I highly recommend Martin Design, P.C.

Our South Winneshiek Auditorium looks wonderful! We had many nice comments all weekend long from visitors coming to see the musical. I heard: ‘It feels warm and cozy, did you lose any seats? The seats are so comfortable. We can really hear, so glad you have the microphones. The colors are so elegant-you feel like you are in a real theater.’
The stage looks awesome, I do not think they missed the few feet they lost on each side. They did not look crowded. I really enjoy that we had the ability to rent microphones and have such awesome sound. Love the aisle lighting…so professional! The use of technology was a nice touch and I know that will be used many times in the future. The Country Road Players are already asking about using the auditorium next summer for a community theater show. It has been a long road and I cannot thank you all enough for making this a reality for the South Winneshiek Fine Arts Students/Faculty/Staff and of course us parents.
