“The Swisher Theatre renovation project presented several difficult challenges.  However, your team never lost sight of our main objective – to provide a quality instructional space for the student of Jacksonville University.  I was delighted to work with such a strong team of professionals.  The resulting creation exceeded our educational goals as well as providing the University a venue for which it can be proud.”
