RISD Daycares - Springridge, NIC, CCE

Gliden partnered with the district to execute a comprehensive multi-site improvement program spanning three separate campuses, delivering specialized educational spaces and vital infrastructure upgrades. A major highlight of the package was the complete transformation of the Springridge campus, where Gliden executed extensive interior and exterior renovations to convert a traditional elementary school into a fully customized, state-of-the-art district daycare center tailored to the unique safety and accessibility needs of early childhood care. Parallel facility updates were delivered at the Canyon Creek and Newcomer Intake Center campuses, which included core utility infrastructure modernizations, refreshed interior finishes, custom millwork, and enhanced structural and site landscaping work. Throughout the multi-campus rollout, Gliden maintained strict educational site safety protocols, delivering a cohesive suite of durable, high-quality facilities built to serve the district for years to come.

Gliden partnered with Lewisville ISD to deliver a modern, fully integrated transportation headquarters designed to support the daily transit needs of the district’s roughly 48,000 students. Replacing an outdated facility, this comprehensive project features a state-of-the-art main building, expanded fleet parking, and an advanced fueling station. From initial site preparation and demolition to final paving, the new center provides the district with a highly functional, future-ready hub to keep its community moving safely and efficiently

Completed as part of the Lewisville ISD CMAR bond program, this fast-track project delivered a comprehensive, campus-wide modernization under an ambitious timeline. While these major facility updates are typically structured over two separate summers—separating above-ceiling utility work from below-ceiling finishes—Gliden re-engineered the logistics to compress the entire scope into a single season. To achieve what typically takes two years, our team managed an aggressive, high-velocity schedule, executing nearly $1 million in work per week with an average of 120 trade professionals onsite daily. The extensive renovation completely transformed the campus from the top down, featuring a full roof replacement alongside sweeping upgrades to the building’s mechanical systems, technology, security infrastructure, and interior finishes. Through precise coordination, Gliden met the hard 9-week summer deadline, saving the district an entire year of construction disruption.

Demonstrating Gliden’s commitment to accelerated delivery, this project upgraded security and public-facing facilities at five district campuses. The scope included the full-scale installation of modernized access control systems at every entry point to heighten campus safety. Simultaneously, our team transformed the reception areas at several campuses, delivering premium millwork, refreshed painting, and high-durability flooring. By re-engineering the logistics of this multi-site rollout, Gliden successfully executed the entire scope during a single winter break—completing the program several months ahead of the district’s projected timeline and ensuring a more secure environment for students and staff to begin the new semester.

Medical Office Finish-Out

Medical Office Finish-Out

Gliden successfully delivered finish-outs of two medical office suites, transforming existing layouts into highly functional, modern clinical spaces. The comprehensive tenant improvements featured custom architectural layout reconfigurations, new interior finishes, and specialized millwork. Because the projects took place within a busy, active medical building, our team implemented a rigorous, phased scheduling plan. By carefully coordinating loud tasks and material deliveries around the operational hours of neighboring clinical tenants, Gliden completed both finish-outs on-schedule without disruption to the building’s daily operations.

This extensive renovation project included interior and exterior updates at two campus locations. Among the various upgrades, Gliden Industries performed a full fire sprinkler system replacement at one location, and installed new utilities and parking at another location. Other upgrades included new MEP, finishes, millwork, doors, glazing, roofing, and landscaping, as well as new interior layouts at each location. In addition to implementing extensive safety precautions around the school operations, Gliden adhered to a strict schedule to have the project substantially completed several weeks ahead of the contractual completion date.

This specialized project delivered a modern, multi-level reality-based training facility for the City of Garland Police Department. Housed within an existing building, the space features a newly constructed second-floor & second-floor mezzanine, specialty millwork, and upgraded mechanical systems. The facility included a multi-zoned control system for real-world simulations that integrated light, sound, and adjustable layouts to replicate training scenarios.

Demonstrating Gliden’s ability to manage complex, multi-site logistics under a strict deadline, this fast-track project delivered comprehensive facility upgrades across two separate campuses simultaneously. To ensure both schools were fully prepared for the start of the fall semester, our team executed a high-velocity schedule during the 9-week summer break, averaging nearly $1 million in work per week. Both campuses received complete rooftop mechanical and HVAC unit replacements. Additionally, our team delivered tailored capital improvements at each site: the Aldridge campus was upgraded with a full roof replacement, a complete HVAC replacement, fire protection systems, and modernized restrooms, while the Wilson campus received critical electrical infrastructure updates, a complete HVAC replacement, enhanced security film installations, and a refreshed interior. Gliden successfully crossed the finish line at both locations on time, with zero disruption to the upcoming school year.
