Meeting a detailed design specification, providing local manufacturing, service, and warehousing, and demonstrating a commitment to sustainability leadership were all important in Duke’s selection of a residence hall furniture partner.
Boston College
Boston College and DCI have worked together for over 25 years. This foundation allowed us to collaborate on a furniture solution that was a paradigm of sustainability to compliment BC’s brand new state-of-the-art sustainable residence hall.
Dartmouth College
DCI partnered with Dartmouth College to build furniture for their residence halls made from trees harvested on their own land. The positive sustainability impact on the land, the school, and the students was multi-layered.
California Lutheran University
CLU wanted to upgrade their design standard across campus. At the same time, they needed to increase occupancy and develop a solution for tripling rooms because housing demand on campus kept rising.
University of California at Santa Cruz
DCI has been supplying residence hall furniture to UC Santa Cruz for 8 years. In 2012, Housing Facilities reached out to us. They were having a problem with bed bugs.
Bed bugs are a serious problem that residence halls need to deal with swiftly. There are a number of reasons for this. First, bed bugs are parasitic and they feed on human blood just like mosquitos. Furthermore, they can spread quickly and lay hundreds of eggs, each one as tiny as a spec of dust.
University of California Riverside
In 2011, UCR’s goal, in keeping with their new state-of-the-art environmentally sensitive complex, was to upgrade the design standard of their campus furniture to match the caliber of Glen Mor 2. They needed unique products to fit their unique application.
