Trust us to manage safe, successful projects that won’t disturb your academic mission.

College Isn’t as Easy as It Looks

Colleges and universities are complex ecosystems, especially if they are located in heavily populated areas. Our higher education clients come back to Harder for capital improvement projects that take advantage of the latest technology and allow them to offer the best learning environments for their students.

Virtual Design & Construction in Higher Education

From science labs to central plant heating and cooling, Harder can do it all. And with the assistance of 3D modeling technology, we can do it all right, the first time. Using virtual design programs and clash detections, our teams can efficiently install specialty exhaust systems in state-of-the-art laboratories, advanced cooling systems for large academic buildings, and architectural sheet metal fabrications that become part of the campus landscape.
