Recently Completed Projects

In August 2021, the S.L. Warren Library closed for repairs due to water intrusion that was causing high humidity levels in the building. The project included installing a new waterproofing system and interior upgrades such as new furniture, finishes, and energy-efficient lighting, based on community feedback. This work, done concurrently with the exterior repairs, ensured the library opened as a refreshed and functional space for the community.

The project replaced the existing 14-bed Durham County Youth Home with a new 36-bed facility on the same 8.1-acre site, shared with the Durham County Emergency Management Office. The new facility was designed to facilitate best practices and accomodate the housing of older juveniles following the standards of NC Adminstrative Code 10A NCAC 14J. The original Youth Home was demolished in phase 2, after the new facility was occupied. This building has been awarded LEED® Platinum Certification. 

This City of Durham project constructed a new Durham public safety facility that houses elements of the Durham Fire Department and Durham County Emergency Medical Services.The building provides enhanced comfort, safety,and security for DFD and EMS staff and supports them in their mission of responding to the needs of the public.

This project included a total removal of the existing 1978 courthouse building exterior and interior materials, replacement of all major building systems, a new elevator core, addition of a fire protection system, and complete reconfiguration of the interior.  The exterior envelope was replaced with a new curtainwall system that meets current energy performance standards.  Large expanses of glass now provide natural light and connect the indoors to the outdoors.  Energy-efficient building components and systems provide a comfortable, healthy indoor environment and reduce operating costs.  This building is currently under evaluation for LEED® Silver Certification.

This project was an interior renovation of portions of both floors of the building, including conference rooms, existing toilets and office areas.  Renovation work included demolition and reconfiguration of walls, new casework and finishes, new ceiling tile and light fixtures, new plumbing fixtures, and reconfiguration of the mechanical system to support the new work.

This project was a collaboration between Durham County EMS and the City of Durham Fire Department for the design and construction of a co-located Fire and EMS station. This new joint station is needed for future fire and EMS presence due to the growth and annexation in the Leesville Road/ Doc Nichols Road area in East Durham.
