This newly constructed Education Center at Ellsworth AFB was constructed to replace seven outdated buildings scattered across the base. The facility includes classrooms, counseling rooms, administrative space, computer labs, lecture rooms, and support spaces.

This project consisted of an approximately 50,000 sq. foot, four-story residence hall that is attached to two existing residence halls. The new residence hall serves as the prime entry point for all three halls. In addition to the building, the project included campus utility infrastructure improvements and site work on an approximate seven acre site.

Building for our community is always an amazing opportunity and we took advantage while constructing the Hermosa K-8 School. From concept to completion, our skilled team members were able to work in tandem with other companies to finish an amazing facility that will help educate our community members for generations to come. With our clients and our DKC reputation in mind, we were able to bring this building to fruition through dedication to deadlines and stretching our resources to keep this project under budget. Even with restraint from COVID-19 and other collateral complications our team was able to overcome those challenges and create a structure that will stand the test of time.
