Speedie & Associates has worked on projects all across Arizona from north to south, east to west. In fact, it's rare when a client inquires about a piece of land we haven't touched in some way since our inception in 1980. We've worked for public and private clients, and our resume of projects is expansive.
Whether it's a major highway project or a small retail building, our experienced staff can provide specific technical expertise to address each project's unique challenges.

Herberger Theater Renovations
Phoenix, Arizona
This project was a renovation of a three-venue performing arts theater in downtown Phoenix, Arizona to improve accessibility and way-finding (ADA), expand patron amenities, refurbish interior and exterior finishes, and upgrade buildings and performance systems. This Center includes the 800-seat Center Stage, 325-seat Stage West, and 110-seat Kax Theater. S&A was contracted by the City of Phoenix to conduct the geotechnical investigation and construction materials testing for the project.
Chandler Museum

This new 10,000 square foot building and 10,000 square foot exterior courtyard and garden was completed in late 2018 and is the centerpiece of the new museum campus. S&A was contracted to perform the geotechnical investigation for this project.

The 178,000 SF Mesa Arts Center features four performance venues, five art galleries and fourteen visual and performing arts classrooms.

S&A provided CMT services for the newly renovated 350-seat theatre. Hale Theatre Arizona, which was established in 2003, recently completed expansions that began in 2019. The now 22,000-square-foot space encompasses a rehearsal space, dance studio, meeting space, costume/wardrobe department and scene shop on site, plus an all new state-of-the-art, sustainable lighting and sound system.
CREATE at Arizona Science Center
Phoenix, Arizona
CREATE at Arizona Science Center(R) is where science, design, and engineering collide! Inspired by the productivity of an inventor's workshop, the creativity of an art studio, and the experimentation of a lab, CREATE is a 6,500 square-foot community hub for turning dreams into reality. The renovation included extensive demolition and reconstruction to allow for an open and accessible relationship to the existing lobby, redifning the entry experience as a gesture inviting visitors from the public plaza beyond.
Japanese Friendship Garden
Phoenix, Arizona
The Japanese Friendship Garden is about 3.5 acres and includes a tea garden and tea house. It is a joint project of the sister cities of Phoenix, Arizona, and Himeji, Japan.
