Education Solutions

Managing the complexity of the coating requirements for your facilities can be quite challenging. Colleges, dorms and athletic facilities are complex buildings to maintain. For new projects, you need a partner that understands construction scheduling and can support your internal Project Managers as they work with Architects, Designers, General Contractors and Painters. Renovations require strong coordination with your GC’s and Painting Contractors, for delays in the return to service affect scheduling. With maintenance painting, you need products that don’t disrupt your operations and keep your staff and students comfortable. In short, you need a partner who understands this industry.
