As we strive for sustainable and innovative solutions, the Truesdell EC modernization project integrates Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) panels for roof construction. Mass timber reduces the carbon footprint and offers durability, safety, and aesthetic appeal, reflecting our commitment to creating sustainable, innovative spaces.

Thank you to our Capital Construction Services School Project Team, Design-Build team, Coakley & Williams Construction (CWC), Blue Skye Construction, and VMDO Architects for showcasing yesterday's progress.

Together, we are building a better DC and can't wait to deliver this school asset during the Summer of 2025!

Check out some of our favorite photos from this installation!

DGS proudly supports our client agencies' mission to serve our residents. In coordination with DC Fire And EMS we have successfully installed the FIRST DC government public/outdoor AED system at Eastern Market.

The strategic placement of the Save Station outside our esteemed Eastern Market facility, a hub of activity and commerce, is a testament to our unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all who frequent this vibrant space. In times of crisis, every second counts, and with this device readily accessible, we are empowering our community members to act swiftly and decisively, instilling a sense of confidence in their ability to handle cardiac emergencies.

This life-saving technology kiosk, donated by and Every Second Counts CPR, enhances safety and preparedness in our Eastern Market community by providing round-the-clock access to critical emergency care for residents and visitors alike.

Teamwork is a core of DGS's work, and we are thankful for all the partners involved in making this possible!
