Challenges

One notable success story in our university portfolio is a university in the Philadelphia area. Prior to our involvement, the university had been served by a much larger company for two decades. We seized the opportunity by presenting our capabilities directly to university leadership, emphasizing the personal touch they would receive when working with our team. The direct involvement of our owner and leadership in escalations, complaints, and projects resonated with the university, leading to a successful partnership.

Solution

Our approach at the university involved assembling a team of 12 dedicated professionals. To ensure a personal connection, we assigned a manager whose sole responsibility is managing the university’s facilities. This manager operates from an on-site office, enhancing communication and responsiveness. Our team provides a comprehensive range of services, including daily cleaning of locker rooms during sports seasons, regular rotation for classroom cleaning, and thorough summer turnover activities for dormitories.
