Testimonials
“We’ve worked with PCD since the design phase of our facility, Story Arena. The commitment and professionalism of the Priefert staff is unequaled. They understood what we wanted and needed, along with the fiscal constraints in building a multi-purpose arena. The relationship we developed with their team is invaluable, as we continue to expand this facility and construct others on campus. The flexibility of our arena layout allows us to host a multitude of events with minimal labor involved.”

“The Expo Center of Taylor County hired Priefert Complex Design to help us put our dreams on paper. Glen Calvert met with our committees and staff numerous times over the course of a year to design two new facilities and modify a third facility. We had to take into consideration both stock shows and rodeos along with many team ropings, barrel races, stock horse shows, and cuttings. Glen and his team worked very efficiently and economically, designing buildings that will not only modernize our facilities, but will take us forward many years. We recommend Priefert Complex Design to everyone thinking of livestock and equestrian facilities.”

“When we began planning and construction of the new equine complex at Texas A&M, (phase I is a $35 million project) we elected to utilize the experience and expertise of Priefert. The overall knowledge they have in design and manufacturing of standardized, as well as customized, equipment is unequaled in the industry. Glen Calvert is a talented and knowledgeable designer, and David Fillebrown is as experienced and knowledgeable as any person in this business. Glen and David\'s ability to work hand in hand with our architects and contractors has made their part of this project uncomplicated. They not only promise a good product, they deliver, on time, correctly designed and attractive. I would recommend them to anyone.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Priefert Complex Designs on two iconic fairgrounds projects in Colorado - Howelsen Hill in Steamboat and Stanley Park in Estes Park. Priefert Complex Designs staff are excellent teammates that provide unique and creative solutions for planning and design, budgeting, consensus building and overall contributions to the creation of functional, flexible and one-of-a-kind projects. I would highly recommend Priefert Complex Designs and plan to work with them again in the future.”

“We recently had the opportunity to work with Priefert Complex Designs as part of our Design Build Team on a New Equine Arena for the Texas A & M University team in Commerce, TX. We found them to be very professional and conscientious in their approach to this project, and it was a pleasure working with them from the beginning to the end of the project. It is without any reservation that I highly recommend Priefert Complex Designs in any endeavor or capacity and would greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with them once again on a Design Build project.”

“I strongly recommend that Priefert Complex Designs be your design and construction choice when it comes to knowledge, experience, having integrity, and being trustworthy. PCD has been involved in developing our Master Vision Plan for a new Fairgrounds and 110,000 sq. ft. Multi-Purpose Event Facility that is located East of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Glen Calvert, P. E. General Manager and Structural Engineer for PCD, facilitated the site plan, built the schematic design, and budgeting for this large Multi-Purpose Venue. He also took into consideration the citizens’ concerns, goals, and dreams for the community. Glen’s team approach has been successful in all aspects of construction.”

Manager, Laramie County Fair
“When the city of Childress partnered with Priefert Complex Designs, we were really looking for a facility that would fit a whole bunch of needs. We liked the idea of having a big arena that could be used for equine events, but we really wanted much more than that. The town wanted a facility that could be used for a variety of activities. If we could dream it up, we wanted to be able to have it here. The people at Priefert exceeded our expectations. They took the input of different opinions and boiled it down to the facility we use today. The whole event center is versatile. At any given time, we can have two or more events running simultaneously. Partnering with Priefert in the beginning was perhaps the best decision we could have ever made.”

“We recently completed work as Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) on the Archer Events Facility in Cheyenne, WY, working closely with Priefert Complex Designs. We found PCD to be an excellent group to work alongside – team oriented, responsive to changes in scope, and apply themselves diligently towards cost effective solutions for the owner and construction team within the limits of a tight budget. They not only did an excellent job from our point of view, but through their collaboration and effort, have benefitted the owner, Laramie County, and our community.”
