The growth in student population equals to more than $50 billion and 200 million square feet under construction in an average year. Like the rest of our society, educational buildings are becoming more and more high tech. And, like all other industries the need to complete projects on-time, on budget is paramount. IES has extensive experience delivering safely and reliably in the education sector.
