Balfour Beatty has been awarded 11 K-12 renovation projects in Greater Atlanta, totaling over $120 million. The projects, on behalf of DeKalb County School District and Atlanta Public Schools, aim to enhance learning environments for students, faculty, and staff. The renovations will include HVAC system replacements, electrical upgrades, roof replacements, fire safety upgrades, and other improvements. Balfour Beatty will work in partnership with the school districts and industry partners to complete the projects with minimal impact on school operations.
The company will undertake renovations at nine school facilities within DeKalb County School District, including Nancy Creek Elementary, Champion Theme Middle School, and Idlewood Elementary. Additionally, Balfour Beatty has been selected for two renovation projects for Atlanta Public Schools at Towns Elementary School and Miles Elementary School. The projects will involve HVAC replacements, building improvements, parking lot additions, and the installation of various systems.
Mike Macon, Balfour Beatty Senior Vice President in Georgia, emphasized the company's commitment to providing a seamless construction experience while prioritizing safety. Preconstruction activities are already underway, and construction for projects with occupied campuses will be phased to minimize disruption. Full contracts have been executed for some projects, and the remaining contract awards are expected to be executed in 2025.
Balfour Beatty's involvement in these projects reflects its dedication to improving educational infrastructure and creating enhanced learning environments for students. The company's extensive experience in delivering complex infrastructure projects positions it as a key player in the development of critical community assets.
