College of Southern Idaho
Unique Challenges
This $21 million project was originally slated to include a 68,000sf building, site improvements, and be LEED certified. During design, we advised the owner the project had been overfunded. The owner elected to stay with the original budget and increase the scope of work. The final product was 72,400sf and was Gold LEED certified.
Key Features
Chobani
Starr Corporation was hired by Chobani to be the CM/GC on their 72,000 SF new office building at their Twin Falls plant. It includes locker rooms, exercise room, full restaurant grade kitchen and employee cafeteria, research and testing kitchen, several meeting rooms and offices. The exterior glazing in this project utilizes a technology that allows it to tint itself to minimize heat gain from afternoon sun and the building features extensive glazing to capture natural light and great views to the North.
Kimberly School District
Unique Challenges
This $10.25 million campus wide expansion was to include the demolition of an existing building, construction of a new school building, adding to multiple buildings, road improvements, a new track, and modest ag building. We delivered all these items plus a new roof on the administration building, doubled the size of the Ag building, purchased and installed a greenhouse for the Ag program, added a VOIP system, and added sidewalks in various locations across the campus. Starr Corporation helped the district and design team closely monitor the project budget. As a direct result of this level of stewardship the district was able to add to the scope while staying within the original budget.

Starr Corporation is currently serving as the Construction Manager on this project. The project includes phased construction of a 62,000sf elementary school and demolition of the existing school buildings. The final tally of all bid packages was about 3% under our budget. During the course of design, our budgeting and construction methodology feedback helped the construction team choose materials that ultimately saved enough money to fund the construction of four additional classrooms. Phase One is on track to be complete this summer. A solid design, well-written bid packages, and a thorough constructability review have kept change orders at about 1.2% of the cost of construction.
