Workforce Development

As higher education shifts to better support workforce and career development through hands-on learning spaces, FGMA rises to meet this need through design. We engage in-house expertise from our municipal, public safety and other design teams to bring industry knowledge to life for students. FGMA specializes in automotive classrooms, fire training centers, warehouse and distribution hubs, and more.

A classroom setting features a speaker pointing at a large screen displaying engine diagrams, while students engage with laptops.

“FGMA has our back. They really listened to our students, faculty and staff, and they know how to provide a great design that balances function, efficiency, schedule and cost. The newly formed esports team is thrilled to see their arena come to fruition.”
