Findorff performed a full gut and remodel of the National Guardian Life six-story office building in Madison by Lake Mendota. This remodel included a new exterior façade, building system replacements, vertical circulation changes inside an existing chase, and finishes. A six-story scaffolding was used to allow MEP replacements to take place, and a full sprinkler system was added to the building for the first time since its original construction.

Findorff constructed an eight-lane pool, 7,000-square-foot building, and additional site amenities at Nakoma Country Club. The pool house includes below-grade spaces for pool and tennis storage, a large kitchen, locker/shower rooms, a multipurpose room, offices, and lobby areas. Additional site amenities include an elevated patio and deck, a gas fire pit, and four tennis courts.

Following a successful 2020 referendum, Findorff has been completing construction work for the Madison Metropolitan School District across six of its schools. The work involves heavy renovations to dated facilities to fit modern standards of education, with redesigned welcome centers, internal MEPF systems replacements, and learning environments that encourage collaboration. Additionally, a new elementary school was built to address the needs of an underserved area in the city of Madison and improve students’ access to educational facilities.
