even without the ongoing struggles posed by the pandemic. The project
took place at the height of the nation’s volatile supply chain disruptions and
production shortages.
Daily collaboration with the design team was instrumental to achieving
the goal. Field crews worked around the clock, procurement teams managed
25+ vendors to maximum capacity working multiple shifts, and freight and
