VALUE DELIVERED

Dynalectric worked closely with the owner, Wakeland Housing and Development, and the general contractor, Suffolk Roel Construction, through the design phase so that construction would run smoothly with no problems and completed on schedule.

SOLUTIONS

Dynalectric provided complete electrical work, as well as fire alarm, tele-data communications and security system.

BACKGROUND

The LEED Silver project is one of the first of its kind in aiding those that are homeless and residents that can barely afford to live where they work. With the increasing housing and rent in San Diego, it has made the mid-tier income families move and reside to low-tier housing, pushing out the families that would choose the low-tiered housing and have to look for new resources. Atmosphere brings back that stability for those families and helping lower the rates of those affected of being homeless by offering these benefits and trainings to help them succeed with their career, finances, and family life.
