K-12 Education
The entire educational community is challenged to create ways in which they might increase resource efficiencies and raise student achievement. We think we can be of help on both counts.
If your district is contemplating a bond issue campaign or a fund raising effort, our staff is adept at engaging in the process. Pre-project community involvement and ongoing communication are prerequisite to project success. We have defined, experienced staff to customize an approach that’s right for your district.
Certainly, we have a talented, seasoned staff who design educational facilities that are attractive, even award-winning. Such facilities may contribute to student enrollment increases and retention. More importantly, however, we create architectural designs that enhance teaching methods and support the curriculum. We have even included a school facility in the educational process! One of our high performance high schools collects live data on energy consumption, which is then used as a part of the lessons in a variety of subjects. Ah, active learning!
GMB’s engineers design facility systems that reduce operating costs, maintenance events, and occupant absenteeism. Our cutting-edge, sustainable designs at Zeeland West High School saved the district 30% in operating costs compared to its sister high school of the same vintage and size on the same site.
Your mission is to educate our children. Let us help you optimize your “enterprise” and your built environment.
