Where students learn by building.

Engineering halls, lab buildings, classrooms and student spaces, delivered on working campuses by teams who schedule backwards from the start of term.

What is really at stake.

01

The semester will not wait

Classes, move-in and commencement are fixed. If a building misses its term, it waits months for the next one.

02

Labs are utility-heavy

High-bay test floors, process gases, exhaust and heavy power make teaching labs some of the densest buildings on campus.

03

Campus never empties

Thousands of people cross the site each day. Fencing, haul routes and crane picks are reset as the semester changes.

Higher Education

Where we work.

  1. 01

    Engineering and maker buildings

    High-bay test space, fabrication shops and project studios with crane rails and heavy floor loads.

  2. 02

    Science and research labs

    Teaching and research labs with fume hoods, exhaust systems and vibration-sensitive rooms.

  3. 03

    Classrooms and learning commons

    Active learning rooms, lecture halls and study space that students use late into the night.

  4. 04

    Student life buildings

    Unions, recreation and dining spaces delivered around the academic calendar.

How we run the job.

The capabilities that carry the most weight in this market.

Design-BuildDeliver

Design and construction overlapped so steel and lab planning move forward together.

Virtual Design & ConstructionPlan

Exhaust, process piping and high-bay structure coordinated in the model before fabrication.

Building SystemsBuild

Lab air balance, hood certification and controls proven before faculty move in.

Facilities & Transition ManagementOperate

Equipment moves and lab start-up planned with faculty around the teaching schedule.

In practice · Engineering Innovation Hall

A high bay where students build at full scale.

The innovation hall was delivered design-build on an active campus. High-bay structure, heavy power and process utilities were coordinated in one model while design was still developing, campus routes were reset each semester, and maker labs and project studios were turned over in time for the teaching term.

Questions worth asking first.

How do you schedule around exams and campus events?

We get the academic calendar on day one and mark exam periods, commencement and move-in as quiet windows in the schedule, then plan crane picks and noisy work outside them.

Can you build high-bay and heavy lab space?

Yes. We coordinate crane rails, strong floors, heavy power and exhaust in the model early, because those systems set the structure.

How do you keep the campus informed?

We share a look-ahead schedule with facilities staff and post route changes and noisy work in advance, so the campus is never surprised by the site.

Planning a higher education project?

Share the project, the site and the date that matters. A senior builder will come back to you within one business day.
