UNM Physics & Astronomy and Interdisciplinary Science Building (PAIS)
UNM’s newest building will be a 137,000 square foot center where students will work closely with faculty in a collaborative, hands-on environment. It will have classrooms, offices and laboratory space available for students of all disciplines. DKD has been working closely with UNM and the engineering team to overcome any challenges that have arisen during this complex project. PAIS is on track to open in the fall of 2019.

UNM McKinnon Center for Management
McKinnon Center for Management is a design-assist project for DKD. Working closely with UNM and McCarthy, we assisted in designing an extensive lighting control system with daylight harvesting zones. This LEED Gold Certified project also has custom audio/visual system, access control, and data systems. A state-of-the-art Innovation Center, office space, and hybrid classrooms reside on the upper floors.

University of New Mexico Collaborative Teaching and Learning Building
General Contractor: Bradbury Stamm Construction
The building is the first of its kind on campus to incorporate light emitting diode lights (LED) throughout the whole facility. Along with the highest quality of energy efficient lighting, DKD installed a daylight-harvesting control system that adjusts light levels throughout the day to conserve even more energy usage. The facility is expected to save up to 30% more than the average building and has received LEED Silver Certification. Obstacles that were presented to the DKD project team were due to the condensed nature of the fully functioning university. Our team overcame setbacks by strategically coordinating material delivery and utilizing our prefabrication warehouse to minimize onsite congestion.
