Grant Integrative Facilities Management, a firm owned and operated by Jim Patrick Grant and his father James N. Grant, had its contract to provide comprehensive
facility management services at the Joseph Kohn Training Center extended by the State of New Jersey.
Located in New Brunswick, Joseph Kohn Training Facility teaches blind and visually
impaired people life skills that enable an independent lifestyle. Students gain skills to attend college, seek employment, and become independent.

There are also teaching areas for telephone usage, reading and writing Braille, computer training, and orientation and mobility, including long-cane techniques.
As the on-site facility manager, Grant is responsible for preventive maintenance, grounds
maintenance, laundry and linen management, fire alarm testing, inspections, and repairs. Our firm also manages subcontracts for elevator repair, pest control, and water treatment; handles housekeeping activities, including developing and utilizing an electronic cleaning management system for scheduling, tasks, and quality assurance/quality control of work; and provides painting and general carpentry as needed.
“The true hallmark of a partnership between a client and a consultant is being selected for
repeat assignments. That the State of New Jersey has elected to exercise the extension option in our contract signifies that our on-site professionals are performing in an effective, efficient, and responsive manner that we can all be proud of,” stated Jim Grant.
“We believe a crucial differentiator for our firm is the ability to respond to the State’s diverse needs at this facility. Our business structure features an all-inclusive, in-house set of professionals that allows us to respond immediately without needing to rely on other
contractors.”
