The Value of a Specialist: Building for The Auburn-Washburn Unified School District
The Auburn-Washburn Unified School District is all about their students. Their job as educators is to prepare kids for the challenges that lie ahead. They also need the space to do so.
When the school district passed a large school bond initiative to expand and make upgrades to their academic and athletic facilities, Washburn Rural saw a big opportunity.
All day every day, the Washburn Rural fields are filled with students lining up for marching band practices or doing experiments for science classes. But after the school day ends, these fields come alive with fans and athletes for Friday night football, track meets, baseball and softball games. They also serve as gathering places for the whole community. The reason these fields are valuable to schools is because they are used in so many ways. A field is truly never just a field.
Bigger Space. Bigger Impact.
Washburn Rural realized that by expanding their facilities and updating their track, football and baseball fields, they could better serve their students, sports teams, and community. They also realized that there were sports construction experts who could help bring their plans to life. They tapped Mammoth, seeing our immense value as specialists in sports construction.
“When we took a look at our athletic fields and tracks and looked at the market, we realized that there were people who knew that space better than anyone else” - Dr. Scott McWilliams - Superintendent Washburn Schools
Experts in the Field
If you want the best in sports and recreation, then Mammoth is the partner for you. From our crews to our design team, we have unrivaled expertise in building and designing top-notch sports fields and facilities. Washburn Rural’s fields were an opportunity for us to show up and create a well-built field that gave them a sense of community pride.
Part of the Team
Throughout the process, our team made a point of setting weekly status meetings with Washburn Rural. We gave them one point of contact and kept them constantly updated on all trajectories and timelines. We led the project while keeping Washburn involved at every step of the way. We brought solutions. Not challenges.
“I was so impressed from the day that we selected Mammoth. They hit the ground running.” - Michael White, School Board Member
Leveling Up the Playing Field
Fields full of happy kids and competitive sports speak for themselves. At the end of the project, we had a happy client and sharp, well-built athletic facilities. We look forward to continuing this partnership.
