Michigan’s Rochester Community Schools Selects SC Technologies for Building Controls Upgrades and New System Installations

Redmond, WA (April 25, 2006)—Rochester Community Schools, with 21 educational facilities and more than 14,500 students in its network, awarded SC Technologies, an Alerton systems and service provider, five contracts to retrofit or install new building controls systems in several of its facilities. Two middle schools and a high school will undergo remodeling and the addition of new buildings; an entirely new support services building will receive building controls; and a fifth project, a Facility Renewal Plan, provides retrofitting to existing HVAC equipment at 10 locations throughout the network of schools.

“Alerton solutions are ideal in educational facilities, which can be a challenge since most campuses comprise numerous buildings that must be networked together for optimal performance,” said Barbara Popoli, Alerton’s general manager. “SC Technologies has a proven track record in providing schools with outstanding systems, service and support.”
