EDUCATION

SERVING OTHERS SINCE 2007. PIONEERING IDEAS AND RAISING THE BAR.

Truebeck Construction was founded with a gamechanging spirit and an ambitious vision: disrupt the traditional and ordinary, and rigorously raise the bar to do our best work. Period. We’re driven by the belief that we can improve construction practices and elevate standards, while creating remarkable places in our community.

Many things are built. Few things are crafted smart and well. We have an entrepreneurial nature – thinking big, but not acting big – and perform as true builders with boots on the ground. We absolutely love construction, and you’ll see that in everything we do. It’s never business as usual on our jobsites or in the office; in fact, it’s more like a championship game.

We strive for greatness in the details, the dirty work, and in the victory of helping you achieve your vision.

Kresge College Campus Renewal SANTA CRUZ, CA

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Kresge College is a dynamic, academic community along a ridge in a redwood forest. Kresge students study liberal arts through creative community spaces, interdisciplinary and experimental teachings, and conscientious approaches to living and learning. The Truebeck/EHDD design-build team will address the University’s need for student housing and also focus on critical campus repairs and renovation, imminent seismic upgrade requirements, and site accessibility.

The redevelopment includes eight new dormitories providing 585 beds, new Town Hall building, renovation of five academic buildings, and demolition of 10 existing structures. The eight new residential halls consist of mass timber and steel structures, with Kresge L being the tallest at six stories. The advantages of mass timber prefabrication are leveraged to provide schedule and cost savings and improved carbon impacts. The project also includes extensive campus sitework on challenging terrain.

Cathedral School for Boys

Terrace Addition & Classroom Renovation

SAN FRANCISCO, CA

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Originally constructed in the 1960s, the Cathedral School for Boys undertook a 12,000sf capital improvements project consisting of a new 4,000sf second-level addition and 8,000sf renovation of the Lower and Upper School classrooms. The majority of the renovations were made to the original school building, with the new addition being built on top of the structure that was added in 2008 in between the school and Grace Cathedral.

Surrounded by the landmark Grace Cathedral, construction in this tight, congested environment was challenging, especially given the location of the addition between the occupied and operational existing school building and the cathedral—the nature of the work was “surgical” and required creative logistical planning. The new addition has also been designed following precepts for additions to historic buildings, requiring Historic Preservation Commission review in the planning process.
