Education

Planning, designing, and constructing buildings that provide the best possible 21st century learning and teaching environments is what motivates our education experts to do what they do best.

Enhancing the Learning Environment

Great educational environments evoke creativity, increase social interaction, foster collaboration and enhance the overall learning experience for students and staff. From sophisticated engineering school buildings to the fully sustainable award-winning Sonoma Academy facility to an innovative mass timber kindergarten classroom, our capabilities and expertise in solving the unique challenges of the modern education facility run deep.

I would be remiss if I didn't share with my neighboring districts how fabulous XL Construction is. They are working on the 7th project for NUSD, and they are by far the best contractor that I have ever had on a project. They provide white-glove service from precon to punch. Their team is extremely knowledgeable, professional, kind, and just great human beings overall...

A prefabricated mass timber classroom building solution

We’ve developed TimberQuest which offers a prefabricated, high-quality and cost-competitive mass timber solution for education buildings that is California Division of State Architect pre-approved for rapid installation at California K-12 public schools and community colleges.

“We worked with XL Construction previously, so it was natural for us to reach out to them for ideas—and the TimberQuest concept had immediate appeal.”
