Building and Energy Solutions
“Without ABM’s
products and
service as well as
financial solutions,
it would have been
impossible for
us to accomplish
all that we have.
We look forward
to continuing a
long, extended
relationship with
ABM,” said Dr.
Allen McCannon,
Superintendent of
Madison County
Schools.
Madison County Schools is a public
school district located in Danielsville,
GA. Ensuring a comfortable learning
environment for their students is
critical.
ABM’s relationship with Madison
County Schools spans over a decade.
The school district first turned to ABM
in 2001 to provide solutions to address
aging infrastructure needs in Madison
County High School.
Madison County Schools were
experiencing major issues with
humidity, indoor air quality, and comfort
conditions while many of the HVAC
systems were beyond their lifespan.
With a very limited budget, they were
unsure all the necessary upgrades
could be made. After meeting with
ABM, they discovered the necessary
upgrades and repairs could be made
with no upfront cost and remain budget
neutral.
CHALLENGE
Madison County Schools needed to
make essential renovations to improve
efficiency and students’ overall learning
environment while dealing with a very
limited budget.
