Higher Education

 

Implementing strategies to meet the challenges of the ever-changing academic and campus life

Our Approach to Higher Education

Thompson Turner Construction possesses the unique expertise to execute higher education construction, approaching each facility in an honest and straightforward manner with the least possible impact on the college or university’s normal operations. From the construction of new facilities to renovations and additions on occupied campuses, we will successfully deliver your project on time and on budget while keeping the safety of your students, staff, and community as our top priority.

One of the most rewarding services we perform is evaluating the potential reuse and revitalization of existing higher education construction. We take pride in building on the past, making it better. Often, we help higher education institutions determine if a structure would be better renovated or if new construction would be more feasible and practical through our extensive feasibility studies.
