End Customer: Kenton City Schools
Location: Kenton, OH
Completion Date: Winter 2025
Project Overview
Kenton City Schools were looking to house 864 students in a new 7-12 building. After much deliberation and buy-in from the community, a bond was passed allowing for this project to move forward, with Garmann Miller Architects and Peterson Construction Company handling the design and project management of this new facility. Along the way, Farnham Equipment Company (FEC) received contract awards for multiple scopes of work, including educational casework, telescopic bleachers, and science lab casework.
This project was a great example of the multitude of scopes FEC is able to provide for large projects. FEC has worked with Garmann Miller and Peterson on multiple projects, and was thrilled to continue that partnership to help deliver quality products to Kenton City Schools. The result was a brilliant building with high-end products throughout the facility, courtesy of FEC’s impeccable project management team and installation crews.
