Mike Zimmermann, Principal
Mason Early Childhood Center
Mason, Ohio
“As the principal of an early childhood center with an enrollment of 1,900 kids, I wholeheartedly recommend PlanSCAPE. The outstanding service provided by our Virco representative helped us achieve major savings of time and money.”
“Before teaming up with PlanSCAPE, we had already purchased a number of furniture items. But rather than telling us that these products wouldn’t work in a PlanSCAPE project, our Virco representative took the time to inventory our existing furniture and integrate it into his layouts for our facility. By assisting us in this way, he enabled us to make the best use of resources we’d already acquired and helped us avoid purchasing products we didn’t need.”
“Through PlanSCAPE, our Virco representative also introduced us to versatile furniture that supports multiple applications. For example, in a large multi-purpose space that we envisioned with computer stations along its perimeter, he suggested that we choose tables featuring pneumatically adjustable work surfaces. We’re very pleased with his solution, which lets us use a child-height configuration most of the time, then quickly switch to an adult-height setting on occasions when our staff gets software training on the computers.”
“The most memorable aspect of our PlanSCAPE experience involved the service we received. Our representative really listened and always followed through whenever we made a request. That was extremely important, because your regular duties as a principal still require the same attention and commitment even when you’re in the middle of a major construction project. With PlanSCAPE, I never felt like I had to manage all the details of our furniture purchase. That was a tremendous relief.”
“During our $28,000,000 construction project, we worked with architects, contractors, site developers and other professionals. With some, you got the sense that their interest level was where it needed to be, but no higher. Our Virco representative was noticeably different. He was genuinely excited about helping us use PlanSCAPE to create a great environment for kids.”
