Old Mill Creek, Illinois-based Balanced Environments, Inc. achieved the highest score in the category of Commercial Maintenance and won both Gold and Platinum Illinois Landscape Contractors Association Awards for the work it performed on Rosalind Franklin University in North Chicago, Illinois.
Balanced Environments’ work at the university spans 97 acres, featuring 48 acres of meticulously groomed campus and 20 acres of non-permeable parking lot. From the tree-lined landscapes to dormitories, interconnected educational buildings, sports fields and more, BEI’s mission is clear — to create a serene environment where students can thrive academically while embracing the natural surroundings as a home away from home at Rosalind Franklin University.
Since April 1, 2004, Balanced Environments has tended to the 97-acre medical school campus nestled in the northern suburbs of Chicago.
The landscaping company’s team, including owner Bruce Church, Vice President Tom Kelly and Maintenance Superintendent Jerry Jimenez have led the success at RFU.
