“You have been a great business partner and this legacy project just reinforces for us your commitment to our company's growth and success. As of this week, all of our associates have moved into the facility and it has been a  'WOW' for all of us.”
Phil Crimmins, Senior Vice President, Development, Applebee's Services Inc.  

“As a result of the leadership and thought provoking innovation that our designers brought to the table, the end result truly reflects our vision and values. We believe our new restaurant support center will be an inspiring workplace that will maximize associate satisfaction and bring value and success to the Applebee's brand. The built product is an opportunity to take the business to 'a new level.’   Both the site and building designs are successful in acknowledging our early directions for expansion, accommodating the business operations and department needs as well as creating a new company workplace that is sensitive to our people and to the community. We have constant reminders in this facility that we did the right things for the environment and by our programs and methods are continuing to do so.   Every time I look out into the beautiful courtyard outside my window (southern most courtyard), I think of you. The flowers/foliage REALLY looks lovely.  Thanks for your heartfelt design!   The design team worked continuously to provide information we needed to make informed decisions throughout the project. This included industry standards and developing data for comparative analysis regarding area usage, human health and productivity, energy usage, flexible space, and forward thinking technologies and systems. The three-dimensional computer studies, physical models, and material boards created helped inform our decision making process and allowed us to share progress and development with our associates. The issued design documents resulted in bids for construction that were under our budget.”
Karen Lazowski, Former Director, Support Services, Applebee's Services, Inc.  

“I was in the Applebee's building earlier this week. Great building, great work! Everywhere in the building felt good to be there.”
