Career & Technical Training Centers are NOT typical school buildings. There are special requirements needed to support the variety of programs within the space. DES’s team of former educators has over 50 years of experience and understands these needs. We’ve assisted with programs such as Automotive, Allied Health, Building Trades, Cybersecurity, Engineering, Makerspace and Welding. Let our team assist with budgeting, design & layout, program planning, installation and professional development. DES is your single source to outfit and implement these spaces.

Research Facilities are complex and technical spaces that require a high level of expertise in planning and execution. DES can assist in providing laboratory casework, millwork, FF&E, Lab Equipment, and Instrumentation through a single source. DES works with several of the largest and highly regarded research and medical Institutions in the Mid-Atlantic. Our understanding of this field enables our team to value-engineer the right materials and components into spaces that work and remain flexible as needs and technology continue to evolve.

For performing spaces, DES provides complete turnkey solutions including casework, millwork, FF&E, and equipment.

Visual arts encompass 2D and 3D design with specific equipment needs including art tables, stools, kilns, potter’s wheels, drying racks and cabinets, flat file and fixed storage, display systems, and more which DES staff can access and provide design and specifications for based on the curriculum.

From community recreation centers to sports complexes, DES provides complete turnkey solutions.
