Dekker

We have an exciting announcement to make ??... We are now Dekker! ?? Our name has changed—our 65+ years of design expertise hasn’t. “Dekker represents a theme of innovation over more than 65 years. But most of all, it represents a commitment to moving our communities forward: championed daily by Dale Dekker and embodied by every member of the team.”—Emily Allen, Chief Financial Officer The new name is an evolution of our brand: a reflection of our history, and a roadmap for what’s next. It’s not a change to our operations or team. Together, we’ll continue creating places and spaces with a problem focused, human centered approach. #ArchitectureInProgress Head on over to our website to learn more about the change: https://lnkd.in/g4hWmaAH

Safety means something different for every location, and for every project. In all of our public safety projects across multiple municipalities, we take an active role in engaging the community to ensure the community and municipality's unique needs are being met in the design.

Sometimes a simple "thank you" is enough to brighten you day. The students at Pi?on Elementary School made this sign so that they could say thank you those who are designing and building their new school. Located in Los Alamos Public Schools, Pi?on Elementary School serves almost 400 Prek-6th students. We designed a full replacement of the school to provide inspiring learning spaces for this large age range. To accommodate a steep slope on the site, we designed half of the building to have two floors, while the part of the building on the higher part of the slope has one floor. #ArchitectureInProgress #EducationDesign #Topography

For our design team, healthcare compliance is not a hindrance—it's a creative opportunity to design a space that is safe, resilient, and fosters wellness. At the Presbyterian Healthcare Services Hospital Patient Tower Addition, we used evidence-based design principles to create a space that keeps patients and staff safe and comfortable, with acoustical privacy and friendly but easily maintained, finishes. Built during the COVID-19 pandemic, the design ensures a safer work place for all, with containment features like enhanced negative air pressure.
