Celebrating Our Community’s Teachers

/ blog / By

At MSD, Inc., we’re thrilled to announce that this year, our “Give to Grow” program has reached new heights, supporting two local teachers who have been nominated by their friends, family, coworkers, and former students. These dedicated educators were selected for their unwavering commitment to shaping the minds of our future generations. We’re proud to contribute to their classrooms, helping them create an engaging and supportive learning environment.

Teachers play an essential role in our community, often going above and beyond to ensure their students succeed. Did you know that teachers spend an average of 50 hours a week on instructional duties and an additional 10 hours on planning and grading? They’re also known for their generosity; on average, teachers spend $500 of their own money annually on classroom supplies. Their dedication doesn’t stop at the classroom door; many teachers provide emotional support and guidance to their students, helping them navigate both academic and personal challenges.

This year, our donations included essential school supplies such as notebooks, pens, art materials, and educational tools. These resources are vital in helping teachers create an inspiring learning environment, and we’re honored to support their efforts. The “Give to Grow” program is all about nurturing growth—not just in the classroom but throughout our entire community.

We believe that investing in our educators is an investment in our future. As the backbone of our educational system, teachers deserve our continuous support. Whether it’s through donations, volunteering, or simply expressing gratitude, we can all play a part in uplifting these incredible individuals.

Let’s keep the momentum going! We encourage everyone in our community to join us in supporting our teachers. Whether you’re a parent, student, or local business, there are countless ways to contribute. Together, we can ensure that our teachers have the resources they need to thrive, and in turn, help our students reach their fullest potential.

Giving to Grow—forever and ever! At MSD, Inc., we’re committed to supporting our educators and fostering a thriving, supportive community. Let’s continue to champion our teachers, celebrate their dedication, and invest in the bright future they help create.

WPAFB Sensors Lab

Wright-Patt Air Force Base sought contractors to renovate and add onto the Sensors Lab. The HVAC portion of the project was over $13 million.

  • MSD served as the Design Assist Contractor in conjunction with Heapy Engineering for this project. In collaborating with General Contractor, Butt Construction, MSD provided Design Assist solutions for the following:
    • A large, anechoic chamber
    • An outdoor range
    • Multiple, Class-100 clean rooms
    • A three-story office building addition with DCID 6-9 requirements on many of the rooms

WPAFB Chilled Water System

The chilled water system at a high-security building on the Air Force Base was undersized and unable to keep up with demand. The facility could not operate without chilled water due to the amount of information servers in the building, and the general nature of the building itself. The entire upgrade project would need to be completed with minimal shut down time at the building. HVAC portion of this project was over $3 million.

  • MSD worked in collaboration with Diaz Construction to complete the system upgrades on time and on budget with minimal shutdowns or disruption to the facility operations.

LJB, Inc.

LJB, Inc. was renovating their Miamisburg, OH office and wanted to incorporate energy-saving upgrades.

  • MSD provided Design Build services in tandem with Greensleeves Energy Solutions, a specialist in geothermal systems.
  • MSD and Greensleeves installed a new geothermal HVAC system with open and closed loops. In addition, MSD design and installed the plumbing portion of the renovation.
