Dpr 101:
A Higher Degree of Service and Quality
Every campus is unique, but they all share something in common: They bring together educators, capital projects professionals and students who all have varying needs and goals. DPR’s higher education team engages these groups to build environments that are functional and forward thinking.
We put ourselves in their shoes, and challenge each other to think like the professors, administrators and maintenance personnel who will use the spaces by asking ourselves the questions that matter to them: Can my students hear me without shouting? Does the infrastructure support AV and internet technologies seamlessly? Is the building both safe and accessible at the same time? Are maintenance areas easy to reach and manage?
By viewing a building through the eyes of the people who will interact with it every day, DPR delivers tailor-made spaces that integrate with and enhance the distinctive culture of each campus.
Our goal is to streamline the design and construction process for campus administrators and facility decision-makers. Instead of bringing them problems, we solve them. If anything, we over-communicate to make budgets, schedules and challenges as predictable as possible.

Tomorrow’s Learning Spaces
Are Being Reimagined Today
DPR is a partner for institutions preparing for the evolving future of academic learning.
We recognize industry trends that influence the way we build, including the shift from traditional lecture halls to flexible learning spaces and innovation hubs, as well as the increasing importance of audio-visual systems and telelearning. That’s why we listen to educators and track research trends: to create dynamic team environments that remain relevant even as the world and its technology continually change.
Working with DPR has been a true pleasure over the last several years. They are always responsive and always willing to take on any challenge. As Larry Lord, with Lord Aeck Sargent once said to me when I was checking a reference for DPR: 'There are a lot of good CMs out there but the DPR folks are just fun to work with.' I agree wholeheartedly.
