As we reflect on and honor the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. today, this question is as relevant as ever. In the midst of what feels like perpetual injustice in our world, our nation, and even our communities, we are inspired by and challenge ourselves with his words. Let us start by helping in whatever way we can. If you have minutes to spare, volunteer. If you have dollars to share, donate. If you have a kind word that might lift someone up, say it. Take action large or small. #mlkday
Last week, D+W’s Don Walter and Rob Fitzgerald were honored to be part of the MSBA’s virtual fall symposium, “Massachusetts Schools Embrace a Sustainable Future.” The day-long program was presented as an educational opportunity for MSBA school districts, and districts who have recently applied to the MSBA’s grant program, to hear from other districts and design teams about how they are approaching design, construction, and financing for a net zero or net zero-ready new school. As Principal in Charge and Project Manager of the Hanlon-Deerfield Elementary School project in Westwood, MA, Don and Rob shared the team’s experience thus far with planning and designing this new Net-Zero-Energy Ready school, tracking 22 EUI and LEED v.4 Silver. #netzero #sustainableschools #renewableenergy #sustainabledesign
OPM services were provided by D+W for the City's new 903-space, six-story parking garage.

Nearly a week ago now we received word that our dear friend and colleague, Dave Lopatich, had passed away. Dave had retired from D+W - but not left. From his new home in Arizona he continued to clip magazine articles on interesting projects or products and send them to staff. He would also check in on projects and how people were doing. His relentless optimism and love of the profession and this firm will be missed greatly. #doreandwhittier #rip #greatdesigner #greatarchitect #greatartist #greathumanbeing
