Olsson, a leading engineering and design firm, reaffirms its dedication to community improvement through a significant donation to the Foundation for Lincoln Public Schools Fielding Dreams Capital Campaign supporting the development of athletics and activities complexes in partnership with Lincoln Public Schools. The firm has a strong community engagement and giving history, and this latest contribution exemplifies Olsson's ongoing commitment to creating spaces that benefit students and the broader community.

"At Olsson, we believe in improving communities," stated Jeff McPeak, Office Leader at Olsson. "We do that through our engineering projects, engagement, and giving by employees and the firm. Our past collaborations with the Foundation's programs Spark and The Career Academy and our longstanding partnership with Lincoln Public Schools have demonstrated our unwavering commitment to enhancing our communities' educational experience and overall quality of life."

Olsson has established a successful track record of collaboration with Lincoln Public Schools over the years to create numerous student learning spaces. The latest initiative to support athletics and activities complexes is driven by the belief that these facilities will enrich students' lives and foster a stronger sense of community.

"We are proud to have completed many engineering projects through our partnership with Lincoln Public Schools," McPeak added. "We know these projects create learning spaces for students that, in turn, significantly impact the community. Providing funding support for the athletics and activities complexes will make these projects a reality and further enrich our community."

The ideal outcome for Olsson's gift is to provide students with access to top-tier facilities that promote essential life skills such as teamwork, perseverance, and discipline.
