Congratulations to Trivers Associates for the design of the Flance Early Learning Center in St. Louis, which recently was awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and the American Institute of Architects for a 2017 AIA/HUD Secretary's Award in Community-Informed Design. The Flance Center is seeking "systemic change" by serving "a racially, culturally, developmentally, and socio-economically diverse population of children" while also providing services to families. The center is located near both the new NGA West and former Pruitt-Igoe site in north St. Louis.

SSC Engineering provided mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and structural engineering services for the project. Read more about the project and the award at Construction Forum St. Louis.
