INEFFICIENT OR UNDERUTILIZED SPACES COST YOU MORE THAN MONEY

An effective educational facility inspires learning, energizes teachers, engages students, and maximizes technology.

Implementing high-performing education environments requires not only a sound understanding of teaching and learning but also a solid knowledge of how schools operate. We consider:

  • The realities of budgets.
  • The need to use staff as efficiently as possible.
  • The need for simple cleaning and maintenance processes.
  • The need to reduce operating expenses.

“Working with the visionaries at TSP was one of the best experiences in my career as superintendent.”

Marje Kaiser, Superintendent (retired) | SD School for the Blind & Visually Impaired | Aberdeen, SD

“TSP is a true education partner. …our students benefit every day from the contributions TSP has made to create the best possible space for them to learn and grow”.

Sandy Lewandowski, Superintendent | Intermediate District 287 | Plymouth, MN

“TSP, Inc. has contributed valuable knowledge of construction planning methods, procedures, design, contract administration, and a general knowledge and understanding of today’s educational needs”.

Rick Simpson, former Building & Grounds Director (retired) | Marshalltown Community School District | Marshalltown, IA

“Simply put, TSP delivered from beginning to end. TSP’s team focused their energies on finding design solutions for what was best for our District and our students, all while working within a very limited budget. Since project completion, team members have contacted me to learn how the space is functioning and meeting our needs. TSP is a true educational partner and I strongly recommend you consider them for your next school project”.

Dan Krekelberg, Director of Operations (retired) | Brooklyn Center Community School | Brooklyn Center, MN

“The Dakota State University Beacom Institute of Technology that you and your firm designed is magnificent. It is everything we hoped it would be. The building is now humming with students, faculty, and staff, and they are buzzing with appreciation for the inspiring and engaging space you created. The collaboration and interaction we wanted it to facilitate is definitely happening”.

José-Marie Griffiths, Ph.D., President | Dakota State University | Madison, SD

“I’m crazy-excited. There’s no other words besides crazy-excited. It will be able to meet the needs for at least the next 20-30 years down the road”.
