Why FM?

Decades of higher education campus protection

FM helps protect all facets of property risk on campus, from dormitories and dining halls, to libraries, laboratories and data centers. We work collaboratively with our higher education clients to develop consultative property loss prevention options to help mitigate risk in all critical areas.

  • Fire

    Fire damage can result in the loss of valuable academic resources, disruption of educational activities, and costly repairs. Implementation of effective fire prevention and response strategies can help to safeguard academic resources and ensure campus safety.

  • Water

    Water damage from severe weather, plumbing failure, escaped liquids, or poor drainage pose a serious risk to higher education campuses. Effective water risk management and prevention strategies are crucial in protecting campus facilities.

  • Wind / Hail

    Wind and hail damage can compromise building structures and disrupt campus operations. Implementing robust structural reinforcement, regular maintenance, and emergency preparedness plans can help mitigate these risks.

Helping our client partners stay resilient

Our proven engineering expertise and proactive approach to loss prevention deliver enhanced safety and peace of mind, ensuring the protection of assets and the continuity of operations.
