Chris Cundall and Nick Stephenson participated in a co****le tournament fundraiser for Engineers Without Borders. The event was held at Finley Community Park and raised over $10,000.

The donations will go toward helping communities in Peru design and build sustainable sources of clean drinking water. These systems are powered by rainwater and gravity, with no moving parts and minimal maintenance. The systems are owned and operated by the communities, which also help build them.

Joel Williams represented QKA as a panelist at the 2026 School Construction News Design & Construction Symposium in Denver, joining industry professionals for discussions focused on K12 and higher education design.

A highlight for Joel was hearing a new perspective on sustainability, defined not simply by reduced consumption, but by a building's ability to teach and inspire. He was also fascinated by a presentation and tour of Colorado's tallest mass timber project and looks forward to exploring opportunities to apply mass timber solutions in future projects.
