Customer Success Story | Bakersfield College

For over 115 years, Bakersfield College has stood as a pillar of the community, serving over 35,000 students annually. But preserving that history while modernizing facilities brings unique challenges. The athletics team faced a significant issue in the gym: intense Bakersfield sunlight was creating heat and glare that made it difficult for athletes to see the ball during volleyball and basketball games. They needed a solution that would solve the functional problem while reinforcing the bold "Renegade" identity recruits expect.

In this testimonial, Roger Fessler (Marketing & Promotions) and Carly Flowers (Associate Athletic Director) share how American Business Machines "answered the bell" with a custom window graphic solution. ABM installed "Renegade Red" tinting that blocks the glare and transforms the facility with a "wow factor" that glows in the sunlight. Carly emphasizes how ABM’s creative team turned a vague vision into reality, handling the design process she couldn't do alone, while Roger highlights the team's ability to execute time-sensitive projects without disrupting the campus. From custom security solutions to branding that makes the windows "glow," ABM provides the reliability Bakersfield College needs to keep their legacy shining bright.
