Our Experience with Schools
Palmer Hamilton has been a leader in designing cafeterias, libraries and media centers for educational institutions since the 1950s. We’ve tackled countless successful school projects and grown with the industry as it has evolved. In 2018, we developed our PHaLAB division, specifically to focus on the trend toward Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) curriculum.
Our PHaLAB team works educators and administrators to develop a successful and effective Fab Lab. Our projects are successful because we collaborate with educators and communities to individualize each one. Our solution format includes Stting Goals, Designing the Space, Manufacturing, Installation, Orientation and Ongoing Service.
Decor Packages
Palmer Hamilton decor packages include a combination of custom designed ceiling-hung, wall-mounted and window graphics and banners. Wall murals, menu boards, window treatments and serving line graphics are popular components of our overall design.

Our Experience with School Funding
Our industry experience means collaborating with select organizations offering funding to educational institutions. Schools can use the National Cooperative Leasing (NCL) to secure financial support. This independently-owned organization gives reliable financing solutions for educational and government agencies.
We have also been following ESSER funding and have accumulated expertise to share.

A partial list includes INVENTOR CLOUD Learning Resources, Full Spectrum Lasers, Tormach Routers, Dremel 3D Printers, and SparkFun Coding Kits. Our collaboration allows us to stay ahead of the latest software and hardware to provide top-level service for our customers before, during and after installation. We also work closely with the National Coalition of Certification Centers (NC3) with training opportunities for your students and local businesses.
