Citadel Sciences was founded in 2020 by national leaders in health and safety to translate the methods used to protect the nation’s most secure buildings—like the White House—into solutions that help schools safeguard the health of their students and staff. Drawing on decades of public health, technology, and systems leadership, Citadel operates as a lean, owner-first partner, delivering healthy building science as trusted, turnkey solutions for schools and communities.
Citadel exists because the health of a school building directly impacts enrollment, attendance, funding, and community trust. Our mission is to help leaders protect their students and staff by ensuring their facilities meet the same standards of safety and readiness as the nation’s most critical environments. We believe school leaders deserve a partner who can cut through complexity, simplify decision-making, and deliver clear, validated results that stand up to parents, boards, and regulators alike.
Our philosophy is lean and owner-first: we don’t manufacture products or push unnecessary solutions—we curate, integrate, and manage proven technologies in a way that saves time, reduces risk, and builds confidence. We approach every project by listening first, using data to define priorities, and building a path that is both practical and future-proof. At our core, we are engineers, strategists, and advocates who measure success not just in equipment installed, but in the trust we earn and the outcomes that strengthen the schools and communities we serve.
