USC Higher-Ed Experience
The USC Higher Education Experience project included six HVAC replacement projects across USC's campuses, with end-to-end program management, coordination with campus stakeholders and contractors, adherence to budget and schedule constraints, and upgrades to the university's facilities
A3 Engineering provided mechanical design and coordination, translating the program into permit-ready construction documents while emphasizing constructability, field verification, and cross-discipline coordination to minimize conflicts during installation
