responsive to our requests

“GMCN has experience with all phases of a building project and has positive working relationships with other entities needed for successful planning and completion of a project.

Bill Wilson, Former Superintendent, Greeley County Schools

Immediately listened to key stakeholders

“After a bond election that failed miserably two years prior to our new partnership, GMCN Architects came in and immediately listened to key stakeholders and arrived at a plan that was both economically viable while addressing key issues that ultimately lead to a successful bond being passed. It is this listening approach to design that makes them unique to others.”

Bill Biermann, Superintendent, USD 352 Goodland Schools

could not be more pleased

"We could not be more pleased with the service GMCN Architects has provided. I would not only recommend, without reservation, but also contend that you cannot find a firm with more expertise, integrity, and commitment to quality than GMCN Architects."

Bill Wilson, Former Superintendent, Greeley County Schools

We couldn’t be more pleased with the final project.

“GMCN Architects provided architectural services for our school district as we built a 10,000 square foot addition to our existing facility. The challenge was the build an addition that didn’t look like an addition. To complicate the matter, the existing building is a LEED Platinum K-12 facility with numerous sustainable features. I can honestly say we couldn’t be more pleased with the final project.”

Darin Headrick, Former Superintendent, USD 422 Kiowa County

Valuable Partners

“GMCN Architects have been valuable partners in not only remodeling and building new facilities for our students, but improving the overall quality of education in Goodland, KS.”
