Central Consolidated School District

With a coverage area of nearly 3,000 square miles, Central Consolidated serves about 4,600 students with 17 school buildings in northwest New Mexico. Day-to-day operations and a full athletic schedule keep the facility staff busy at all hours, making late-night trips to any of the fields to manually turn off lights a major inconvenience.

A Trusted Lighting Provider

After being disappointed by the system performance and service from another lighting provider at its football fields, the district formed a trusted relationship with the local sales team from Musco. They believed enough in Musco’s service and solutions that they utilized Cooperative Educational Services, a New Mexico-based purchasing cooperative, to designate Musco as their lighting provider for their baseball and softball fields at three high schools and an elementary school sports complex.

Cost Savings, Convenience, and Control

The cooperative bid process saved the district time and money, fulfilled their public bid requirements, and provided the district with a centralized, remote system for instantly controlling the lights at every ballfield. Following seamless installation:

• Players, coaches, and spectators enjoy uniform, high-quality lighting.
• The facility team benefits from Musco’s 24/7/365 support and service.
• Staff can operate their lights instantly via smartphone, reducing late-night trips to the field.

Musco backs its LED solutions with a 25-year warranty covering parts and labor, which means Central Consolidated School District won’t have any maintenance costs or concerns through the year 2048.
