New York City Department of Education - Customer Case Study

The New York City Department of Education faced significant time and budget constraints while constructing its first school-based health center at Curtis High School. The goal was to create a state-of-the-art facility to provide accessible healthcare for students, but managing the project's scope and schedule was a key challenge. They turned to their long-term partner, Gordian, leveraging its Job Order Contracting solution to address these issues.

Gordian successfully managed the project, which included the demolition of existing space and construction of multiple exam rooms, a dental suite, and administrative areas. The result was the timely completion of a health center that now serves over 3,000 students, providing essential medical, dental, and mental health services. The vendor, Gordian, helped the NYC Department of Education achieve its goal of improving student wellbeing and reducing absenteeism, with the principal noting the positive impact on the school community.
