DALLAS, TEXAS (February 28, 2023) — Envision Dallas, a nonprofit providing services and employment for people who are blind or visually impaired, has announced its partnership with Eby Construction Company and SPT Architecture to renovate its new 210-000-square-foot facility in Farmers Branch, a suburb of Dallas. Dallas-based KDC has partnered with Envision Dallas as pro-bono owner’s representative to assist on the project.

Envision Dallas will move its operations to the expanded and updated campus, helping to fulfill the needs of more than 150,000 North Texans who are experiencing vision loss and a lack of services available to them. This 52-week renovation is expected to begin in March 2023.

“We’ve been strategic partners and supporters of Envision for more than 60 years and we continue to be amazed by the work that they do to support people who are blind or visually impaired,” said Mike Grier, Director and President/CEO, Eby Construction. “We look forward to working with them to transform an impressive new facility that will allow them to serve even more people in North Texas.”

“Envision Dallas’s plans for the new facility are inspiring,” said Greg Tice, AIA, Architect Partner, SPT Architecture. “They not only want the space to be functional to accommodate their growth, but they are also leading the way in creating a modernized, accessible and motivating space for all. SPT Architecture is prepared to exceed expectations with innovative architectural designs.”

“I have been inspired by the work that the tight-knit team at Envision Dallas has accomplished so far and their plans for the future with the new building,” said Steve Van Amburgh, Chief Executive Officer, KDC. “Partnering with them is an honor and represents our strong commitment to support the communities we live and work in.”
