Facilities Services

South Central Service Cooperative, as part of The Minnesota Service Cooperatives, has partnered with ICS (formerly ICS Consulting, Inc.) to provide members with access to facility-related services and solutions. ICS has announced a re-brand – watch their video. They have shortened the company name to ICS and changed their website from www.ics-consult.com to www.ics-builds.com. The company’s previous slogan of “innovate, collaborate, sustain” will be replaced with “Building Strong Connections.” All changes were effective Monday, Dec. 16, 2019. ICS is a leading professional services firm focused on providing strategic facility planning, project development, and construction services. 

With decades of experience guiding school districts throughout the planning process, ICS has assisted in passing over $654 Million in voter-approved funds since May 2017. This past summer, ICS successfully managed the construction of over $350 Million.
