UC Irvine Medical Education Building

The economies derived from the design, including the structure and building systems, enabled our team to deliver 25% more usable space and achieve LEED Platinum in lieu of Certified, all within the original project construction budget. We could not have achieved this without DCI’s considerable contribution to the design effort.”
