Olympus, headquartered in Phoenix, is a provider of facility services for the higher education market, including public and private colleges and universities, and community colleges.

Anthony C Hipple, Olympus CEO, says: “It has been a challenging year for higher education, and we are proud and excited to be joining a partner that can bring tremendous scale and operational efficiency to our clients right out of the gate. Joining KBS enables us to expand our efforts nationally, helping educational organisations provide safer, cleaner facilities.”
