Education - Higher
Saunders has over $720 million worth of education experience and has completed over 5.5 million square feet of education projects.
As the last Saunders people leave our building, I am moved to reiterate our deep appreciation for the quality of what all of them do each day. This has been as rewarding and satisfying as any professional relationship I have had in many years of business, governmen, or academic activities. We are grateful to you and to all of the team."
