Members of the CDE team recently enjoyed a day of Golf at the Wanderers Country Club in Wellington, FL with our partners at Palm Beach State College. The 12th Annual Golf Tournament is organized by the Palm Beach State College Foundation which is dedicated to helping students with scholarship opportunities and program enhancements that will impact the local community. We are thrilled to hear that our friends at Palm Beach State College were able to raise over $135,000 during this event! CDE is proud to be a long time partner with Palm Beach State College and a major sponsor of this highly successful event! CDE fully believes in higher education and the opportunities that education creates for people of all ages.
CDE would also like to extend a special thanks to our friend Dave Suarez with Palm Beach State College Facilities for joining us on a very successful day.

One of the more prestigious projects CDE has assisted UCF with is the newly planned UCF Athletics Wayne Densch Facility Expansion Building (also known as the WD77). The newly planned 40,000 square foot building will be the home to various sports offices and coaches. The project will be designed to achieve USGBC LEED® Gold Certification and will sit between the existing Wayne Densch building and the Nicholson Fieldhouse adjacent to BrightHouse Networks Stadium. CDE is providing the M/E/P and Structural engineering design services for this facility. The second phase of this project is currently under development. Construction of the new facility is slated for May 2017 with a completion of November 2017. For more details on this project, click here.
