Solano College winds down 2012 bond-money projects

The vice president of finance and other Solano Community College administrators are living out of boxes these days now that Building 600 is closed. They moved to 360 Campus Lane, into new temporary digs, while their usual home was gutted, abated and renovated.

The $6 million project is one of the last major projects using bond money from the 2002 passage of Measure G.  The administration building (Building 600),  has been around since the early 1970s, had seen better days, with its small boardroom and primitive sound system.

Kitchell is providing construction management services for the Solano Community College project.

Kitchell elevates structures and ideals through innovation

Kitchell is a name synonymous with the growth of Arizona and the West; its projects have dotted the regional landscape since the firm was founded in 1950. From hospitals to prisons and everything in between, the company has built virtually every building type in a wide variety of locales and keeps its focus on building long-term client relationships, fostering internal talent and driving innovation.

Much of the culture within Phoenix-based Kitchell and its core contracting business, Kitchell Contractors Inc., was embedded in the firm’s DNA by founder Sam Kitchell, according to Dan Pierce, president.

“This whole company’s philosophy and culture is built upon Sam and how he thought,” Pierce says. “He was very good with people and relationships.”
