Elementary + Early Education
Early childhood education is crucial in a child’s development and learning. With a deep understanding of constructing early education centers and elementary schools, McCownGordon’s K-12 team stays informed of trends such as incorporating natural light and flexible classrooms. We believe in engaging young learners by offering guided tours or creating viewing platforms so they can safely observe the construction process. To minimize disruptions on an active site, McCownGordon implements strategic scheduling and noise control measures, ensuring a safe and conducive learning environment throughout the project.
Middle + High school
McCownGordon is well-versed in the latest trends in middle schools and high schools. Some of these trends are flexible learning spaces, sustainable design, learning stairs and CTE spaces. During construction we actively engage students in the construction process, offering real-world learning opportunities that tie into their studies. Ensuring the safety of students is paramount, McCownGordon implements safety protocols to protect them during any renovation or construction activities on school grounds.
Career and Technical Education programs engage students by getting them out of the typical classroom and into spaces where they can explore, experiment, and learn new skills. As a construction company, we love to see CTE spaces come to life in school environments as many have a construction aspect to them. As technology grows, so do the need for technical skills in various fields. From IT (information technology) and computer chip programming to welding and automotive technicians we are here to help you build the best classroom spaces for your students, our future workforce. We understand CTE classes are meant to fill gaps in the workforce, this means your space will need to be flexible and adaptable to always fit those needs.
Many high school athletic facilities and theater programs now rival some colleges and rightfully so. High school student athletes aspire to play in college or even professionally, but only 7% of those athletes will play any sort of collegiate sport. This means for 93% of your district’s athletes, playing on their high school team is their last chance to play in top-notch facilities.
When dreaming of a career on stage or in films, students need the right stage, lights and AV system to elevate their performances. By providing a state-of-the-art performance center, we fulfill students’ dreams.
As districts grow and evolve, and school boundaries loosen many students will look at the athletics and fine arts departments when considering their future. Â We understand the latest trends in high school and collegiate fields, courts, and auditoriums. Our expertise will help your district not only compete with surrounding districts but also rival some colleges.
School Bonds
With extensive experience managing multiple construction projects within a single school bond, McCownGordon understands the importance of coordinating efforts with various architects or other construction managers hired to ensure cohesive and efficient project execution. Our team’s transparent budget management ensures that the bond’s financial resources are allocated wisely, delivering maximum value to the district. For every school bond project, we are committed to putting the money back into the community by hiring local subcontractors and suppliers. Since the bond is from the tax payer’s dollars, engaging the community during the full process is a priority. We regularly facilitate meetings and utilize social media to keep stakeholders informed and involved before and during the project.
The first thing we build is relationships.
