Non-DoD Schools Program

DDESS Area Service Center Logistics Division - Facilities

Typical of most public school systems with aging infrastructure in the United States, DDESS faces the daily challenge of providing safe, healthy and effective educational facilities.

Property Management

We are responsible for management of over 5 million square feet of real property, consisting of eighty school and school district facilities located on twenty military installations in the United States, Puerto Rico and Cuba.

Our buildings provide the physical requirements and atmosphere conducive to the delivery of our comprehensive education program and focus on highest student achievement.

Master Planning

We are also responsible for master planning efforts to determine:

future facility replacement requirements
acquisition of adequate funding for capital improvements
oversight and funding of local school district maintenance programs.

Our planning efforts also revolve around military re-stationing actions throughout our area of responsibility plus changes in student population as a result of housing privatization efforts at local military installations.

Our schools serve as a centerpiece in the military communities and the physical plants reflect the pride of students, teachers, administrators, and the military community.

All of our projects are closely coordinated with federal, state and other regulatory concerns to ensure our facilities are in compliance with all applicable standards, codes, regulations and industry recommendations.
