Schools & Universities
Over the years, BMS CAT® has helped hundreds of schools, universities and educational facilities recover from fire, smoke, explosions, water, earthquake, and mold damage. Our restoration capabilities cover the structure, contents, and many specialty areas including natural history specimens, laboratories, historical archives, paintings, and other unique requirements.
Libraries are an integral portion of our services provided. BMS CAT® has the largest freeze-dry chamber capacity in the world for document, books and vital records recovery.
BMS CAT® participates extensively with the URMIA organization through speaking engagements and training seminars on a variety of subjects.

The 44 acre campus and 6 offsite facilities of the Dillard University campus system were damaged after the levee system gave way due to Hurricane Katrina. The campus sustained 3’ to 9’ feet of contaminated rising water.
As a result of reconstruction efforts directly resulting from the Northridge Earthquake, water damage was sustained on the interior of the Oviatt Memorial Library - Automated Storage Retrieval System Archive (ASRS). This facility was equivalent to three stories in height and had a floor square footage of 14,000 SF.
