SPECTRUM entered the Turnkey Military Family Housing Design/Build Program in 1979 with a project at Fort Ord, California.  Since then, we have designed approximately 26,500 units of housing in 78 projects at 126 sites in 18 states and Cuba.  The projects ranged in size from 50 units to 3500 units.  Our current award to proposal submission ratio exceeds 60 percent.

Our award winning design experience includes 705 factory-built units within three projects constructed at Adak, Alaska, and Fort Irwin, California.  An Award of Merit by the Pacific Coast Builders Conference was given for the project at Adak.  Spectrum received the coveted Department of Defense Award for Family Housing Design for a 600-unit project at Camp Pendleton, California, and the NAVFAC Design Excellence Award for a project of 300 units at Alameda, California.

Spectrum received the Naval Certificate of Appreciation for the unique design of 244 housing units at La Mesa, California in a difficult terrain.  This award included commendation for excellence at two other sites:  383 housing units and two Community Centers at Camp Pendleton, and 33 housing units at Bridgeport, California.

In 1999, Spectrum began producing winning designs for the new military housing privatization projects.   We have designed 12 projects on 42 sites, totaling over 10,000 housing units in eight states.  This work is in addition to our design of ongoing military family housing projects.

The firm has distinguished itself as an innovative problem solver in the design arena with expertise provided by staff in single/multi-family housing, low rise office/retail developments, church facilities and commercial projects.
