Higher Education

Over the past decade, we’ve constructed more than $1 billion in higher education facilities, providing vital spaces for people to learn and grow.

Our project teams have comprehensive experience in all types of higher education construction, including athletic facilities, auditoriums and performing arts, business schools, science labs and technology centers, student housing, dining facilities, libraries, parking structures, central utility plants and campus hospitals.

We are dedicated to creating balance when it comes to finishing the job and ensuring worry-free campus activities. We collaborate with facilities personnel, teaching staff, event organizers and student groups to build schedules that reflect your priorities, minimize disruption to your operations and even complement your educational efforts by engaging students in active project sites.
