We specialize in delivering projects on active campuses with minimal disruption, prioritizing safety for students, faculty and the public. Through close collaboration with clients, consultants and trades, we optimize design for constructability and value—safeguarding your budgets and timelines.
As teaching methods and approaches to learning evolve, we are here as innovators and solution providers to help you achieve your vision for flexible, future-forward technology enabled spaces that empower both students and educators.
As sustainability becomes a key priority for municipalities and educational institutions, PCL is proud to serve as a trusted partner in delivering environmentally responsible education facilities. From harnessing innovative solutions like mass timber and alternative energy systems to selecting durable, low-maintenance materials that stand up to everyday student use, we design and build with long-term performance in mind. Across every project, we proactively integrate sustainable practices that align with the evolving environmental goals of our clients and communities.
Collaborative delivery models—such as Progressive Design-Build and Integrated Project Delivery—offer education clients the power of consultant, contractor and stakeholder alignment early in the process. This integrated approach fosters informed decision-making, ensures value and constructability, and helps meet sustainability, flexibility and technology goals. It streamlines budgets and schedules, builds stakeholder trust, and delivers adaptable, future-ready learning environments with lasting value. PCL embraces early engagement of integrated perspectives through collaborative preconstruction.
We understand that protecting the safety of students, staff and the public while preserving the continuity of learning is paramount on active campuses. Our teams work closely with institutional stakeholders to develop tailored construction schedules, including night shifts, alternating phases and intensive summer work windows to minimize disruption. Through proactive planning and clear communication, we ensure that every step of delivery aligns with campus operations, safety protocols and academic priorities
Renovating or expanding existing facilities can be a smart, budget-friendly way to meet evolving academic needs. These projects help preserve the character and history of a campus while making room for modern learning approaches like hybrid classrooms and tech-enabled spaces. At PCL, we specialize in retrofitting educational facilities, working to de-risk complex construction, especially on active campuses. Collaborating closely with your stakeholders, we work to understand the heartbeat of your facilities and prioritize safety, operations and experience throughout project delivery.
