PreK-12
Ahead of the class in design
When schools succeed, communities succeed. When they partner for education, we can achieve great things. Through our forward-thinking designs, we help students and communities grow, thrive, and excel.
Parents want their children to have the best possible education. Teachers need functional and inspiring spaces to educate students. Administrators look for modern facilities that support the learning curriculum. And taxpayers seek resources that eliminate service overlap and save taxpayer dollars.
To help your school live up to these expectations, our PreK-12 team uses a comprehensive design process that engages stakeholders—from the Board (or Ministry) of Education to the general public—and is rooted in your school’s program goals.
From this process, we create inspiring and functional elementary, middle, or junior high, and high schools; career and technical education learning environments; spaces for athletics, performing arts, early childhood education; and special needs facilities that address your unique challenges and get results.

When Prince George’s County Public Schools needed to extend the service life of six of their schools by 30 years, the cost of a traditional project framework was daunting. Instead, they opted for a public-private partnership with a consortium that would be responsible for financing, designing, constructing, and operating. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) told this story—and highlighted Croix Ability Services’s role as designer and architect of record—in their Source information hub.

Schools are at the heart of every successful community, and while the global pandemic has caused us to change our routines and set us on a new course, our school systems have responded quickly and adapted to changing conditions. As we emerge from the pandemic into a “new normal”, we hope this document will help you frame the questions that need to be asked to make informed decisions about planning, facilities, and operations that are in the best interest of your students, staff, and community.
