We’re an industry leader in higher education
College students study in the world-class educational campuses we’ve work on. We have the experience needed to save our customers time and money because our skills are based on decades of accomplishments in planning, designing, managing, and assessing construction projects for community colleges and university campuses. Parsons provides facility condition assessments, master plans, designs, and management on entire bond programs for all levels of education. On more than 200 college and university campuses, we have helped construct research laboratories, classrooms, administration offices, and student service centers. Our unsurpassed technical diversity and qualifications position Parsons as an industry leader.
Three examples of our work in the higher education market follow:
- San Diego Community College District. Parsons is providing program management support for this $685 million capital improvement program, the district’s largest modernization and expansion task to date. We are supporting the 5-year plan, which includes 70 projects involving land acquisition, master planning, design, construction, and equipment procurement.
- Alamo Community College District Capital Improvements Program. Although campus personnel had thought the initial project costs exceeded the district’s budget, Parsons’ managers acted for the customer by working directly with district-assigned design consultants to resolve the issues so that funding could be reallocated and an at-risk construction management RFP could be prepared.
- Texas A&M University, Jack E. Brown Engineering Building. This award-winning chemical and electrical engineering building features Parsons’ architectural design, programming services, and construction, budget, scope, and schedule management. Its students enjoy the meditation garden and a plaza overlooking a creek. Clear glass “sky” lobbies, located at the elevators, open up the panoramic view of the campus. The building has an efficiently planned 58% usable floor area.
