The new facility features a lazy river, lap lanes, a zero-depth entry, two water slides, and multiple play features. The support building includes new locker and changing rooms, a concession area, and staff work areas.

City of Billings Recreation Center, Master Plan Billings, MT Despite being Montana’s largest city, Billings lacks a dedicated community recreation center. Under the direction of the City of Billings, A&E+ SMA Design and BRS Architecture began building and master planning efforts to address unmet needs for recreation, organized sports, community use, and sports tourism. The proposed center would create a comprehensive destination serving residents, athletes, and visitors throughout the region. Planned amenities include indoor basketball and volleyball courts, competition and leisure pools, ice rinks, fitness rooms, a jogging track, and community engagement and support spaces. Planning efforts focused on identifying the facilities and amenities that would best serve the community, selecting a site that could accommodate both the initial facility and future expansion, and evaluating construction, operational, and funding costs.

Our long standing stability in the marketplace reflects strong leadership, financial resilience, and a deep commitment to the communities we serve. We consistently meet annual revenue and growth goals, maintain a full workload of projects, and are sought after for our ability to complete work on time and within budget. We recognize that City projects present unique challenges, and our proactive problem solving approach and strong network of specialists allow us to minimize risks and keep projects moving forward. For the City of Bozeman’s Parks and Recreation professional services needs, our team brings specialized expertise in architecture, landscape architecture, planning, sustainable design, and site planning. We focus on creating functional and welcoming public spaces while considering long-term maintenance, accessibility, community needs, and connections between facilities and the surrounding landscape. We continue to learn and explore as design needs evolve, remaining flexible and open to new methods and ideas. Our team is large enough to support complex projects and multiple assignments while remaining focused on personalized, responsive service. This client focused approach, supported by our combined expertise and commitment to quality, positions A&E + SMA Design to successfully support the City of Bozeman’s Parks and Recreation projects. Strengths & Weaknesses Our strengths lie in our expertise in civic projects, adaptive reuse, commercial, and public facilities. With decades of experience navigating complex regulatory requirements, our team brings a collaborative and informed approach that keeps community values, municipal goals, budgets, and schedules at the forefront. Our experience with complex expansions and renovations, combined with our existing relationship with the City of Bozeman, allows us to understand local processes and respond efficiently to a wide range of project needs. Our approach centers on listening, collaborating, and applying stakeholder input to develop practical, thoughtful solutions. A dedicated construction project management team carries that coordination through construction, helping protect the City’s interests, design intent, and overall project quality. While our team has broad experience with public facilities, recreation, planning, and community focused projects, we recognize that certain highly specialized park, recreation, or technical needs may fall outside our core areas of expertise. In those cases, we rely on trusted consultants and specialists who bring the specific knowledge required for the project. We also recognize that every Parks and Recreation assignment may present different priorities, stakeholders, and site conditions, requiring our team to remain flexible rather than relying on a predetermined solution. By identifying these needs early and building the right team for each assignment, we can address potential gaps while maintaining clear communication, strong coordination, and accountability throughout the project.

We have evaluated our current workload and have the capacity to support the City’s anticipated professional services needs throughout the contract period. Our team is prepared to mobilize quickly for individual assignments, whether supporting park improvements, recreation facilities, site planning, feasibility studies, renovations, or other Parks and Recreation initiatives. Having local staff in Bozeman also allows us to respond quickly, attend meetings and site visits, and remain closely connected to City staff throughout each project. As individual projects move from early planning into design and construction, our staffing depth allows us to adjust resources while maintaining consistent project leadership and communication. We will work closely with the City of Bozeman to establish clear scopes, schedules, and deliverables for each assignment and proactively coordinate around changing priorities, funding, and project timelines. This flexible approach allows us to serve as a reliable, long-term partner for the City’s Parks and Recreation needs.
