Founded in Huntsville, Alabama,
in 2000, Spiritus is a strategic-growth,
veteran-owned small
business that has built its
reputation on superior technical
capabilities, accomplished
personnel, and an aggressive
work ethic -- all while
synthesizing the big picture.
From providing engineering and
management support to
developing information and
knowledge systems, our goal is to
understand our customers and
provide the highest quality
services to achieve the results
they need.
Our mission -- to find inspired
solutions -- is embodied by our
name, and more importantly by
our corporate culture and people.
We are proud to be located in downtown Huntsville in the beautifully restored former YMCA building, built in 1912 and beloved by many generations of Huntsville families. We are just minutes away from Cummings Research Park and Redstone Arsenal.
In 2001, Fuqua & Partners Architects worked with the building's owner -- the law firm of Watson, McKinney & Artrip -- to restore many altered features to their original state, including the French doors along the front facade and a curved reception desk in the lobby. Most of the original architectural elements remain, including fireplaces, stairs with ornate balustrade, and tile and maple floors. Other details, such as the front steps which have been worn down by the feet of many generations of Huntsville children, the YMCA name above the front entrance, the YMCA cornerstone, and a portion of the circa 1950 wood basketball court, were unaltered. The restoration has won numerous design awards.
