End Customer: Zanesville City Schools
Location: Zanesville, OH
Completion Date: Spring 2025
Project Overview
Zanesville City Schools has worked with Farnham Equipment Company (FEC) for over a decade, for inspections, upgrades, repairs and more for the district’s equipment. As the district continued to evolve and grow, an opportunity presented itself to construct a new multi-purpose building for the growing district. The new building would be a pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) and include space for an auditorium, classrooms, and an athletic field on artificial turf to serve as an additional gymnasium. Summit Construction handled the management of the project, while Garmann Miller Architects was enlisted for the designs. As the project unfolded, FEC was thrilled to receive contract awards for multiple scopes of work on the project. Substantial completion took place in the Spring of 2025, with nothing but positive remarks for how FEC handled its scope of work.
Both Summit Construction and Garmann Miller Architects have extensive work with FEC, providing a smooth operation from start to finish with high-end products being delivered and installed to Zanesville City School’s doors.
