Testimonials
Enriching student life on campus.
We wanted to provide students with an experience that they can have out of the classroom, whether it is through activities, sports, or student groups, and in working with Legacy, we have a building that provides students with those experiences, has the "WOW" factor, and is also multipurpose.

No daytime lights needed.
Legacy came to the table with a bid that was to spec and cost-effective for us. A Legacy building provides all the advantages of a steel structure building with a fire-rated tension fabric that allows for good working conditions in daylight hours. One of my favorite parts about the building is I never need lights during the day, even on rainy or cloudy days; the visibility inside with the natural light is so nice.

The building protects the salt supply.
It is protected from being compromised by wind and precipitation. Once the general contractor completed the footings and floors, Legacy installed the fabric building very quickly, in about two weeks. It was a very positive process with professional communication between Legacy and Dewberry throughout the project.
Craig Swengle | Dewberry Engineers
Legacy offers custom solutions in restrictive environments.
Legacy was the only one that could do a two-stepped building, so we could have a high part in front, and then have it stepped down, so we stay out of the clearance zone. We are really happy with the natural ventilation. We had a system designed for forced ventilation, which would have been very expensive, not only to put in but to operate. We went with the system you designed. I was in the buildings on a pretty hot day, they are cooler now than the buildings our clients are currently in, so they are very happy with the passive ventilation system.
James Kesler | Ontario International Airport Authority (OIAA)
It was a breath of fresh air.
No one was really expecting your guys to install it as fast as they did. Once we got to that point where it was time to put the steel up and putting the fabric up…it was a breath of fresh air.
Adam McLeod | Stony Brook University
Look at fabric differently.
This is a valid way to do construction; it is unconventional, but it fulfills your needs. We wouldn’t have had our building without Legacy.
Evan Wielenga | Hull Coop Association
Legacy has superior installation value.
Having designed the mechanical and electrical systems, as well as structural foundations for these types of buildings, we find that a Legacy fabric structure has superior insulation value compared to a pre-engineered metal structure with the same ‘R’ value of insulation.
Terry Smith | TWS Engineering
Legacy was the only company who could help us with our conveyors.
Our salt is delivered by rail cars to a large pit next to the storage structure. A conveyor system hoists it from pit to building. Legacy was the only company we talked to that could supply trusses strong enough to support the conveyors.
O.J. Rinehart | Northern Salt
I couldn’t be a happier client.
Legacy’s building design achieved a simple, clean look compared to other fabric building manufacturers. I couldn’t be a happier client. I’m a big fan.
Darren Kaberna | Red Tail Ranch
Reconsider conventional norms.
I believe that development companies, colleges, and similar institutions should reconsider conventional norms and delve into thorough research to understand the exceptional benefits that tension fabric buildings and Legacy can offer for their upcoming construction projects.
Matt Hanlin | Courts of McKinney
We were very impressed by their engineering team.
By today’s standards, the buildings we’re designing are of world-class caliber in the U.S. and Canada. Legacy offered several features that put them at the top of the list. They are unique among fabric buildings in that they build on a rigid steel frame. Everything looked good, from the eave and ridge ventilation system to the method for installing fabric panels. Combined with material delivery times and the time to construct, Legacy seemed like the perfect choice for our application. The whole design is very efficient for our operations.
Flexibility is key, especially when the building is a “first of its kind” for the industry. We had one design change after the whole plan was in place, to widen our trapeze in the structure that supports the conveyor, and Legacy was able to make that change without any problem. The conveyor system fits and operates just as it was designed. Legacy knew our schedule and saved us over 30 days of downtime. They stood the frames for the entire fabric structure in a single day, and everything - conveyors, electrical, fabric - was completed within five weeks of them coming to the site. It was a Herculean effort on Legacy’s part. It was fantastic. They have a very passionate team, from top to bottom. In all respects, from design to pricing to production, Legacy is one of the best building contractors I’ve ever worked with. I look forward to working with them again.

It was a good experience working with Legacy.
Our transportation system requires the diesel buses to be stored in a facility to keep them warm and protected from the elements. Legacy’s customized fabric structure design was able to fit our purposes. Their in-house installation crew put up the building very quickly. They’re easy to work with and willing to help, and the communication with the city and responsiveness throughout the project was very good.
Joe Balge | Davenport Department of Public Works
Legacy was one of the only companies that could construct to that height.
We needed a structure this big to be able to do maintenance inside, and we needed something we could erect quickly and meet all our requirements. Legacy was one of the only companies that could construct to that height.

The extended life span of a Legacy building over competitors was also a main factor.
The finished interior was a key factor in ultimately choosing Legacy, as well as the simplicity of the solution and the relocatability. The extended life span of a Legacy building over competitors was also a main factor in choosing Legacy.
Project Manager | Camp Lemonnier
Legacy was very easy to work with.
The old buildings used tubular steel, and no matter what you do, the salt gets inside the tubes and corrodes them. They came out here with their crew, rented all their equipment, and erected the buildings in three weeks flat – a week ahead of schedule. It’s a stand-up company.
Theo Gatsonis | CM & Sons
It’s kind of like being outside all the time but still having shade.
I love the amount of sunlight that you still get through the roof. It stays pretty warm in the winter and cooler in the summer. It’s very quiet inside. When you get rain or hail or wind, there’s no banging or clanging, no sharp or rough sounds. The acoustics are good. It’s fresh and dry and clean. You don’t ever have condensation dripping off the roof. It’s a controlled environment, yet you still get the benefit of the daylight coming in.
