We honor our responsibility to safeguard this cherished community institution for generations to come.

Expertise & Preparedness

We uphold the highest standards of professional facilities management and emergency response capabilities essential for protecting our historic buildings, priceless collections, and extensive grounds through specialized preservation expertise and comprehensive crisis readiness.
05

Educational Excellence

We champion academic programs and the vital FSU partnership that has enriched both institutions for 25 years.
