Education

As funds diminish and pressure mounts for high-performing learning spaces, Harris & Associates keeps K-12 districts, community colleges, and other higher education institutions ahead of the curve on capital improvement programs that maximize bond dollars.

Harris has provided tailored program, project, and construction management services to clients throughout California, and we have provided management oversight for more than $2 billion in California education construction projects. Solving our education clients’ needs has been a core focus of our business since 2000.

Well-versed in all facets of campus construction, expansion, and modernization, our program managers, construction managers, and environmental compliance professionals help you manage costs and schedules related to large-scale, bond-financed construction programs

Building Consensus 

Early, repeated involvement and buy-in from key stakeholders increases chances for project success. From District leadership and faculty stakeholder groups to architects and contractors, Harris has a successful history of managing groups of diverse decision-makers to deliver educational facilities our clients are proud of.

For each project, we aptly learn the dynamics at play, then determine how to sustain political and public momentum. And we remain transparent with leadership, administration, constituents, and the community.

Focused on Smarter Learning

Upgrades and renovations rarely fit neatly around school holidays. Harris construction managers excel at accommodating school schedules, managing work site safety, and minimizing disruptions to learning environments—all while delivering new, state-of-the-art environments emphasizing flexibility, collaboration, and innovation for learning and discovery.
