The scenes of plants and animals are at once real and imagined, molded and engraved into the concrete walls, dividers […]

Its physical plant costly and in need of upgrade a few years ago, a private college in New Jersey called upon the National Management Resources Corp., a Georgia company that’s become the go-to source for getting campus facilities up to par.
