DGS has been building, maintaining, & sustaining the District— investing over $7.4 billion in our cities’ facilities for the last 15 years! We celebrated many of the District’s unsung heroes— from the people who lay the groundwork, to those who build the foundation, to the ones solving problems to keep the work of good government going in DC. We can’t wait to continue this work for the next 15+ years! Thank you, Team DGS!🎉 #DGS15

@TheSKAGroup1Oct 2
Fourteen #glulam beams helped make Truesdell Elementary School a structural first for DC Public Schools. Each approximately 73 feet long, the beams support a seven-inch cross-laminated timber deck spanning the school’s new double-height gymnasium and dining commons. Together with a conventional steel-braced frame, the system forms the centerpiece of DCPS’s first completed #masstimber project. This milestone is part of a much broader modernization that brought together the renovation of a nearly century-old school, a new academic wing, community-oriented activity spaces, and a net-zero energy design. The transformation is featured in “Academic Advancement” in the Summer 2026 edition of ArchitectureDC. SK&A Structural Engineers was delighted to serve as structural engineer, working alongside the @DCDGS, @dcpublicschools, @vmdoarchitects , Blue Skye Construction and Development, DC, and @CoakleyWilliams.
