Higher Ed & K-12
In the education sector, Shook takes on the responsibility of creating safe, functional, and inspiring learning environments that meet the unique needs of students, staff, and communities. As a general contractor and construction manager, Shook is experienced in building and renovating K-12 schools, universities, and specialized educational facilities. We work closely with school districts, administrators, and designers to ensure that each project aligns with educational goals, budget requirements, and timelines. Our team prioritizes minimizing disruption to ongoing learning during construction, managing all aspects of scheduling, safety, and quality to create spaces that support the educational experience and foster growth.
Safe, Clean, Functional
Many of our education projects take place in fully operational campuses. We’re experts at managing phased construction in occupied spaces—ensuring that learning environments remain safe, clean, and functional throughout the process. Our teams proactively coordinate schedules, noise control, and safety measures to minimize disruption, so students and staff can stay focused on what matters most.
Shook has delivered successful projects for leading institutions across Ohio and beyond, including Kent State University, Case Western Reserve University, the University of Cincinnati, The Ohio State University, and the University of Dayton. Whether it’s a classroom renovation, a full HVAC system upgrade, or a fast-tracked summer project, we bring deep experience, accountability, and a commitment to getting it right the first time. Clients trust us because we communicate clearly, plan meticulously, and deliver consistently—on time and on budget.
