The Alamo Colleges District in San Antonio, Texas, recently announced that it has selected program management firm Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc. (LAN) to provide its services for a $270-million renovation project across various facilities. The maintenance and repair project is part of a larger, $328-million initiative to address needs at all five Alamo Colleges: San Antonio College, St. Philip’s College, Palo Alto College, Northwest Vista College, and Northeast Lakeview College, according to a news release.

LAN will oversee comprehensive facility renovations and improvements to existing facilities at all five colleges, as well as Educational Training Centers.

“This strategic investment in the Alamo Colleges District will increase access to technology, enhance student safety and reduce energy consumption,” said Greg McClure, Alamo Colleges District Associate Vice-Chancellor, Facilities and Construction Management. “This initiative will also increase stewardship of the taxpayers’ investment in our community’s higher-education infrastructure.”

The Alamo Colleges District enrolls more than 100,000 South Texas students each year in credit, workforce, and continuing education courses. The district’s footprint totals more than six million square feet of building space and includes five colleges, seven educational training centers, AlamoONLINE, Early College High Schools (ECHS), and Pathways in Technology Early College High Schools (P-TECH), according to the news release.

“The Alamo Colleges District is a great place to learn,” said Kyle LeBlanc, LAN Program Manager. “Having these campus improvements will not only maintain the integrity of the campus buildings, they will also promote appealing learning environments.”

As a certified exhaust cleaning specialist and business coach who has helped hundreds of institutional facilities achieve NFPA 96 compliance, I emphasize that proactive grease management isn’t optional; it’s a core fire/life safety practice.
