Brailsford & Dunlavey, Inc. ("B&D") is a privately owned program management company that plans and implements "quality-of-life" facilities, primarily for schools and governmental entities in the United States. The firm's full-service program management services aid in the development of ballparks, stadia, arenas, student housing, recreation facilities, student unions, dining venues, and other community spaces.
History[edit]
First established as Brailsford Associates, Inc. in 1993, the company initially provided integrated economic and architectural planning services and program management in the development of sports and recreation facilities. In 1996, the firm’s name was changed to Brailsford & Dunlavey. At its outset, the practice consisted of three consultants serving five clients, focusing on pre-development feasibility studies and project management services. Clientele included primarily higher education institutions, as well as professional and amateur sports entities such as the NFL's Baltimore Ravens and the Chesapeake Regional 2012 Coalition (vying for the District of Columbia to host the 2012 Summer Olympics).[1][2] In the ensuing years, B&D expanded its product lines, focusing on the full range of program management services from planning through construction.[3] As of 2015, B&D employs more than 120 professionals located in 10 offices throughout the United States.[4]
Ownership[edit]
B&D is owned and managed by co-founders Paul Brailsford and Chris Dunlavey. Brailsford started his career as a real estate economist specializing in urban mixed-use, hotel, resort, and residential projects. Today, he works in the facility development industry,[5] having published dozens of articles on how to plan buildings effectively, and having been invited to speak at more than 50 national conferences.[6][7]
Dunlavey started his career designing office towers for an architecture firm. Today, he continues to publish industry articles, speak at national conferences, and oversee B&D's planning and implementation of stadiums, ballparks, arenas, convention centers, conference centers, performing arts centers, and other sports and public assembly facilities.[8] His work in this realm led SportsBusiness Journal in 2005 to name him "a primary player in the process of planning sports facilities," and to place him on its exclusive "Forty Under 40" list.[9]
Projects[edit]
Through the completion of more than 1,000 projects within all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, B&D has helped plan and/or implement more than 750 new, renovated, and/or expanded buildings, comprising more than $30 billion in total value.[10] Some of the company's program management assignments have included:
- District of Columbia Public Schools[11] — system-wide construction/renovations ($3.2 billion project) (ongoing)
- Baltimore City Public Schools[12] — comprehensive construction/renovations ($1.1 billion project) (ongoing)
- Nationals Park[13][14] — new Major League Baseball stadium ($611 million project)
- DeKalb County School District[15] — comprehensive construction/renovations, serving as a subconsultant ($562.9 million project) (ongoing)
- Detroit Public Schools[16] — comprehensive construction/renovations ($500.5 million project)
- The Ohio State University[17] — new student housing, serving as a subconsultant ($370 million project) (ongoing)* The Episcopal Academy[18] — new 120-acre campus ($165 million)
- Young Harris College[19][20] — new campus facilities ($135 million project) (ongoing)
Industry recognition[edit]
More than 100 facilities planned or implemented by B&D have earned industry awards, including from the U.S. Department of Education,.[21][22] National School Boards Association,[23][24] the American Institute of Architects,[23][25] and the District of Columbia Historic Preservation Office.[26][27] Other awards have been granted by various organizations including the American School & University,[24] Associated Builders and Contractors,[24] Athletic Business,[28] Commercial Real Estate Women,[29] Construction Management Association of America,[24] District of Columbia Building Industry Association, Engineering News-Record,[30] Mid-Atlantic Construction,[24] Newsweek,[31] Construction Management Association of America,[24] Real Estate & Construction Review,[24] School Planning & Management,[24] and the Urban Land Institute,[32] U.S. Green Building Council,[24]
B&D is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, and more than 150 B&D projects have earned LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certification or better. As of May 2015, 30% of the company's project managers and executives are LEED certified.[33] With respect to B&D's clients, one of its first professional sports program management assignments—managing the design and construction of Nationals Park—resulted in the first LEED-certified major professional sports stadium in the United States.[34] B&D's first system-wide K-12 program management assignment—managing the modernization of District of Columbia Public Schools—has resulted in the LEED certification of dozens of schools.[35]
B&D received recognition from Inc. in 2012, 2013, and 2014 as one of the United States' 5,000 fastest-growing privately held companies. B&D also was named one of the Washington, DC area's "50 Great Places to Work" by Washingtonian magazine in 2013,[36] and one of The Washington Post's 150 "Top Workplaces" in the Washington, DC area in 2014.[37]
