About DPR Construction

Located in the EcoPlex, one of Palm Beach County's first LEED Gold-certified office buildings, DPR’s West Palm Beach office has grown to 20 individuals—50 percent of whom are LEED accredited—since it was established in 2008. The region has completed a three-building campus for long-time DPR customer, The Scripps Research Institute, and is continuing to work with Scripps on several lab remodels and improvements. In addition to a steady stream of projects under $5 million, this office is currently building a 100,000-sq.-ft. biomedical research facility for Max Planck, one of the world’s largest not-for-profit research facilities and in pre-construction for a Science Classroom Complex at Florida International University.
