#DGSDelivers Feature: DC Stabilization Center
#ICYMI - The DGS Capital Construction Division's latest project has transformed how the District provides care to individuals experiencing a substance-use crisis or emergency. DGS is proud to deliver the city's first Stabilization and Sobering Center for the DC Department of Behavioral Health. Our work directly supports the DBH's mission to enhance community well-being.
With a $4.7 million investment, DGS was able to upgrade the facility with a new HVAC system and a newly repaved parking lot to facilitate medical vehicles. In addition, we constructed a floor-to-ceiling design throughout the space, updating plumbing and electrical systems, as well as adding furniture to ensure patient comfort.
This project required collaboration and synergy at every level. Kudos to our DGS Capital Construction Project Team, architect, and construction partners from Sorg & Architects and Chiaramonte Construction Company, DC Fire and EMS, and our client-agency partner DC Department of Behavioral Health, and all our partners involved for bringing this project to the finish line not only for DGS but for the District!
