Campuses don’t stand still. Instead, they are a bustling hub of activity with bell schedules, portable clusters, new wings, and phased modernizations. Getting students and staff safely from building to building (without detours through mud, puddles, or construction fencing) is where aluminum walkway systems for multi-building school campuses make a real difference.
REDD Team designs prefabricated aluminum walkways, platforms, and connector runs that install quickly, look intentional, and hold up to daily school traffic.
Why Aluminum Works On Real Campuses
School site paths see everything: rain and sprinkler overspray, slush and de-icing salts, rolling band carts and AV racks, kindergarteners in tiny shoes and high-schoolers sprinting to class. Let’s face it, the walkways get a lot of use and abuse. However, aluminum takes it in stride. The material is completely corrosion resistant. You don’t have to worry about rust. Also, unlike steel, it does not need to be painted or repainted. And unlike wood, there is no rotting or warping.
Redd Team offers slip-resistant, self-draining decking that effortlessly moves water off the walking surface to reduce the likelihood of slick spots.
Aluminum is also lightweight but exceptionally strong. You can easily target it in tight courtyards or active entries. Without a doubt it is engineered to meet the needs of school loads and everyday traffic.
Prefabricated Speed With Minimal Disruption
Schools can’t surrender a walkway for weeks. REDD Team ships labeled, bolt-together kits. There is absolutely no field welding at the door. Also there will be only minimal barricades. The entire process encourages quieter installs.
Most work fits nights, weekends, breaks, or short summer windows. Adjustable legs tune to actual pad elevations; standardized hardware and repeatable connections help district crews and GCs move fast and confidently.
The “Last Inch” At the Door
Most day-to-day issues show up right at thresholds because of the bump. However, we size maneuvering clearances, coordinate with door swings/operators, and use low-profile threshold plates so wheelchairs, strollers, and carts roll through without hitting a bump. In addition, platforms are detailed to shed water away from the opening which means less puddling and smoother inspections.
Made for Supervision and Crowd Flow
Between-period surges are a safety and operations challenge. REDD Team uses wider clear widths where needed. We also add occasional resting or pull-off areas, and keep rail lines and posts consistent for visibility and wayfinding.
For elementary campuses you have the choice of optional child-height rails beneath the primary handrail to improve comfort and confidence.
Portable Classrooms & Evolving Sites
Portable classrooms move when your campus grows or goes through a rearrange as phases shift. A science wing opens and changes traffic patterns. Our modular approach means you can reconfigure and relocate assets instead of starting from scratch.
Weather, Snow, and Everyday Care
Schools are busy places but aluminum walkways simplify maintenance. Routine care comes down to keeping surfaces clean, clearing away snow with a non-metal edge, and avoiding harsh residues that could build up on the surface. There are no repaint cycles and no rot repair which all reduce maintenance and expenses.
Self-draining deck profile helps minimize ice sheets and standing water to ensure safety for students, teachers, and parents. .
