How do you facilitate a safe separation of activities when renovating an occupied building like a school?

Performance Services recognizes the importance of reducing construction’s impact on school operations. The first step to maintaining an optimal learning or working environment during construction is developing a plan to integrate construction activities so that the school functions normally.

We develop phasing plans according to school schedules, with the most potentially disruptive work activities over periods when school is not in session. Noise-producing activities are always coordinated and scheduled with the client to minimize disruption.

When potentially disruptive work activities need to occur during the school year, we schedule them outside regular school hours. We separate work areas and learning areas by noise and dust partitions and work diligently with clients to ensure the interaction of the work zones and learning zones is minimized and tightly controlled.
