Large school construction projects leave behind dust, debris, and safety hazards that must be addressed before students and staff return. In 2025, ATEB Cleaning Services partnered with contractors at Greater Lowell Technical High School to complete a two-phase post-construction cleaning project. By combining debris removal, dust control, adhesive removal, and high window cleaning, we delivered classrooms and common areas that were inspection-ready on schedule.
Client Profile
- Type: Educational facility (vocational and technical high school)
- Location: Greater Lowell, Massachusetts
- Scope: Two phases of post-construction cleaning
- Special Considerations: Coordination with contractors and student safety requirements
The Challenge
The project left behind:
- Heavy dust on ceilings, vents, and fixtures
- Construction debris across classrooms and hallways
- Adhesive residue and stickers on windows and furniture
- VCT floors requiring detailed turnover cleaning before finishing
- High windows requiring equipment access
The school and contractor required a team that could:
- Work safely around ongoing construction
- Deliver inspection-ready spaces on deadline
- Provide specialized high window and detail cleaning
ATEB’s Approach
We built a two-phase plan:
Phase 1 (Initial Turnover)
- Debris removal and dust control
- High dusting of vents, ceilings, and light fixtures
- Interior glass and surface cleaning
- Restroom and hallway sanitation
Phase 2 (Final Detail Cleaning)
- Adhesive and sticker removal from equipment and glass
- Supported VCT floor readiness for contractor finishing
- High window cleaning with contractor-provided lift
- Final punch list walkthrough with contractors
Results
- Delivered inspection-ready classrooms and hallways on time
- Eliminated debris and improved air quality
- Restored safe, clean conditions for turnover
- Coordinated seamlessly with contractors to avoid delays
