School might be out, but the clock is ticking. For K–12 schools, colleges, and universities, summer is the golden window to upgrade flooring without disrupting learning. But with just 8–10 weeks to complete the work, there’s no room for delays or mistakes. That’s where ACP comes in. From gym floors to cafeterias, science labs to entryways, ACP delivers flooring solutions that meet academic standards for safety, durability, and low maintenance—all in timelines that fit academic calendars. Why Summer Projects Fail—and How to Avoid It Summer construction in educational settings can go wrong quickly: Late vendor scheduling leads to missed installation windows. Incorrect product choices result in floors that scuff, peel, or fade within a year. Lack of safety compliance creates post-installation headaches with insurance and audits. Underestimating moisture or prep needs causes failure beneath the surface. ACP avoids these pitfalls with pre-summer planning sessions, precise timelines, and high-performance systems designed for academic environments. ACP’s Education-Grade Flooring Systems We specialize in surfaces that meet the exact needs of schools: Polyurea and epoxy systems for fast-curing durability Slip-resistant finishes in gyms, cafeterias, and restrooms Seamless antimicrobial floors for nurse stations and science labs Decorative flake and quartz options for entryways and common areas These aren’t just commercial coatings—they’re built for the unique combination of high foot traffic, food service messes, custodial cleaning chemicals, and student wear-and-tear.
