Education Sector
We empower secondary schools, colleges, and universities to realize their full potential by implementing our innovative strategies for creating energy-efficient environments for both students and staff.
Creating Environments for Success
The quality of the learning environment is crucial for the success of both educators and students. A remarkable student experience is vital not only for attracting new students but also for retaining them. From maintaining clean and tidy facilities to ensuring everyone feels safe, along with reliable infrastructure and healthy meals to fuel students and staff daily, we bring decades of experience to help your school, college, or university thrive every single day.

Education Facilities Management (FM)
Our mission’s BEST strategy and ethos focuses on five key areas identified by industry leaders as critical to effective facilities management: Experiences, Productivity, Practices, Resilience, and Outcomes.
A conducive environment creates the ideal foundation for learning and teaching. We support educational institutions in providing students and educators with the right spaces to thrive, ensuring clean and secure halls and classrooms, as well as safe schools that promote memorable experiences for everyone.
Whether it’s providing nutrient-rich foods to keep young minds active and engaged or finding ways to optimize educational resources for a more environmentally friendly approach, our suite of apps and tools, IFM Advance, explores every aspect of your educational environment to uncover the most effective productivity practices.
Our safety-first approach, rooted in our Code of Conduct and QHSE policies, shapes our operations. By prioritizing the safety of your students, staff, and the environment, we establish best practices that cultivate empathetic, secure, and impactful learning environments within your institution.
We ensure that your students' learning experiences continue uninterrupted by preventable issues. That’s why we provide a comprehensive range of reactive and planned preventative maintenance services, addressing everything from pest control to equipment breakdowns, and securing every aspect of your institution for future generations.
As each student progresses toward completing their journey at your institution, we are there to support you in shaping their lives in line with your vision and mission. We tailor our services to align with your objectives, ensuring optimal outcomes for students, educators, and visitors who experience your facility.
We create menus that emphasize health, providing balanced and nutritious options that support the overall well-being of students and educators. It's not just about meals; it's about fueling the minds that shape the future.
Our teams specialize in ensuring seamless operations within educational environments. From routine maintenance to strategic planning, we understand that the effectiveness of education is closely linked to the functionality of its spaces.
Pests can disrupt the learning environment and jeopardize the safety of educational spaces. Our pest control measures go beyond reactive solutions; we implement proactive strategies to protect against potential disruption
A safe environment is essential for the well-being of everyone in an educational setting. From surveillance systems to on-site personnel, our approach focuses on creating a secure backdrop, enabling students and educators to concentrate on what matters most.

Optimizing Space Effectively
Maximizing the use of available space can be a challenge for educational institutions. We apply best practices from around the world to design environments that promote learning and enhance the experiences of both students and educators, all while making the most of the available floor space.
Our focus extends beyond indoor areas; the quality of your outdoor spaces is equally vital for fostering a successful environment. We create green, outdoor areas that allow students to relax, socialize, and play, while also enhancing the biodiversity of the local community.
