Schools & Universities
What are flooring needs for K-12 schools and higher education campus settings in Baltimore?
As a facilities manager, you have many needs to meet when selecting the best flooring solution for the variety of spaces in your school or university in Baltimore, Maryland. There are unique areas that go beyond the classroom and hallways that require long-lasting flooring since it is critical to ensure safety, cleanliness, and durability year after year. As you consider which areas need repair or new installation, it’s important to understand the unique needs of key areas you maintain:
- Facilities support (loading docks, trash rooms, service hallways, and mechanical rooms) – these spaces are the most overlooked areas — however, they are the most important to maintain for the safety and continuity of critical operations that support the daily activities of education.
- Foodservice areas (kitchens, dish rooms, walk-in cooler boxes, culinary labs) – this area needs to support the operations of serving multiple meals a day at universities. In addition to withstanding high traffic and use, the floor should be easy to clean and require little maintenance, so you can ensure you pass important health department inspections.
- Special water use areas (indoor pool decks, locker rooms, gym or dorm showers, bathrooms, science labs) – offering slip-resistant, waterproof, comfortable, and clean flooring around the indoor pools or throughout the locker rooms best supports students and residents. Additionally, waterproof flooring helps avoid damage to your housing, especially when you have multilevel buildings with showers and bathrooms on every floor.
What is the best commercial flooring for K-12 schools and universities?
As you look to upgrade or install a new floor, there are infinite considerations. Depending on your specific requirements and level of foot traffic, the best commercial flooring is urethane concrete and a JetRock epoxy-quartz blend. In your facilities and food service areas, the durable flooring stands up to heavy traffic, daily chemical washdowns, and the no-slip surface ensures worker safety. Applying JetRock in the spacial water use areas will ensure the highest safety and offer an anti-microbial surface to avoid mold and bacteria growth.
