Dallas K-12 MEP

Dallas’s K-12 School District MEP Partner

Cleary Zimmermann Engineers designs mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems for K-12 school districts throughout Dallas and the DFW Metroplex, from our Dallas office in Plano. Our K-12 practice is led by Jonathan Garcia, PE, with Trent Oliver, PE, directing the Dallas market locally. We are geographically well positioned to serve districts including Dallas ISD, Plano ISD, Frisco ISD, Allen ISD, McKinney ISD, Richardson ISD, Garland ISD, and Lewisville ISD on new construction, additions, and renovation projects.

With more than 20 years of experience and more than 400 K-12 projects completed across Texas, our team understands the pressures North Texas districts operate under: voter-approved bond budgets, construction schedules tied to the academic calendar, and enrollment growth that can outpace the buildings meant to hold it.

MEP Design Built for North Texas School Growth

DFW is one of the fastest-growing school markets in the country, and the design approach has to keep up:

• Bond program sequencing: MEP design scoped to fit voter-approved bond budgets and construction windows, whether the project is one campus renovation or part of a multi-school package.
• Growth-district speed: Repeatable, well-coordinated design for districts building new elementary, middle, and high school campuses on compressed timelines.
• Indoor air quality: Classroom ventilation designed to ASHRAE 62.1, supporting the air quality that directly affects student health and academic performance.
• Safety and security integration: MEP scope coordinated with access control and security systems from the start of design, not added afterward.
• Heat-ready systems: HVAC designed for long North Texas cooling seasons, with efficiency that reduces operating costs for districts managing tight utility and maintenance budgets.
• Occupied-campus construction: Renovation work sequenced around the academic calendar to limit disruption to students, teachers, and staff.

Serving DFW School Districts

From the established urban core of Dallas ISD to the rapidly growing districts across Collin and Denton counties, school systems in the Metroplex face very different facility challenges. Aging campuses need system replacements and renovations; high-growth suburban districts need new campuses delivered fast. Our Dallas K-12 team is positioned to support both, working with the accountability structures bond programs require.
