The construction needs of higher education institutions encompass a wide range of projects, from state-of-the-art learning facilities to sustainable campus infrastructure. Not only that, but university and college campuses range in terms of offering the latest in advanced research technologies to inspire the next generation of artists.
It is vital for universities and colleges aiming to enhance their educational offerings and accommodate growing student populations to invest in their infrastructure. Whether institutions that have been around for over a century or only 20 years, there’s always room to enhance an educational environment for today’s curious minds.
The balance of construction during an academic year can come with its challenges, but with a dedicated and experienced construction management team at your side, anything is possible. When you’re in charge of educating tomorrow’s innovators, you don’t have the time, energy or resources to manage every detail of a new construction or renovation project. You need a partner to handle these intricate and complex plans while you can focus on the needs of your staff, faculty, students and visitors.
Our Approach
Working with some of the nation's top universities, we balance innovative design with functionality and sustainability, creating spaces that foster learning, research and community engagement.
We understand that at the heart of any college campus is a home for students, faculty and staff. It is not just a place of learning and growth – it is where people collaborate, host large gatherings, introduce new solutions, showcase talent and create a better tomorrow.
Reach for Success
Whether a higher education institution requires remodeling, renovation or a new addition to the campus, these projects come with a unique set of challenges. Timelines matter when reducing interruptions on campus, as loud construction can quickly impact campus-wide events, day-to-day classes and sleep schedules. We understand that our work must be completed during optimal hours, on time and within scope.
Broad Reach Construction confidently takes on the challenge of creating adaptable, multipurpose spaces that cater to evolving trends and technological advancements. Constructing smart classrooms equipped with the latest digital learning tools, laboratories with specialized equipment for research, residential halls that provide a safe and comfortable living environment, and communal areas that encourage collaboration and social interaction is vital for students and faculty.
