Education Campuses
Summer is the only real window. From K–12 unit ventilator replacements to university chiller plant upgrades, we sequence major work around the academic calendar and staff facilities teams that need one contact for the whole campus.

Where facilities like yours get stuck
Four problems we hear on the first walk.
01
10-week summer for a 20-week scope
Everything has to be done by August. Multi-summer phasing is the only realistic path for large jobs.
02
IAQ and student attendance
Ventilation code compliance, CO₂ monitoring, and MERV-13 filtration are now attendance and litigation issues, not just spec items.
03
Aging steam plants + heating conversions
Campus steam distribution originally built in the 1960s. Converting to hot water or heat recovery is a decade-long capital plan.
04
Deferred maintenance backlogs
Every institution has one. It's rarely a technical problem — it's a prioritization and financing problem.
How we deliver
The playbook, on the record.
- Multi-summer phasing plans with guaranteed turn-over dates before staff report
- IAQ audits with CO₂ + PM2.5 monitoring and reporting parents can read
- Steam-to-hydronic conversion roadmaps with utility rebate + PPA options
- Deferred maintenance triage tied to actual failure risk, not building age
- Emergency response scaled for boarding schools + 24/7 research buildings
- Purchasing cooperative alignment (Sourcewell, OMNIA, TIPS) for compliant procurement
