Services
From facility planning to schematic design to construction documents, Di Cara | Rubino Architects provides a full range of design services for projects large and small. With a Certified Interior Designer on staff, we can provide essential space planning functions to complete your design vision. Our staff of construction administrators - many of whom are registered architects - understand how to carry a project from conception to completion.
We had a vision for an innovative space that would accommodate our current robotics and STEM programs, and be flexible enough to adapt to new instructional practices. With classroom space at a premium, we sought to reclaim an under-utilized auxiliary stage. After researching the topic, we turned to a professional design team from Di Cara | Rubino who guided us throughout the process.
For over 25 years, Di Cara | Rubino Architects has been providing our clients a full menu of design services tailored to their specific projects. From simple renovations to ground-up new construction, our staff has the expertise and industry knowledge to tackle any job. We invite you to explore our growing and diverse portfolio of award-winning projects.
The 325,000 SF Donald M. Payne, Sr. Vocational Technical School in downtown Newark, NJ is far and away Di Cara | Rubino's flagship project. The new state-of-the-art Career and Technical Education (CTE) facility has over 85 classrooms and labs, numerous common areas, cafeteria, media center, gymnasium, and 800-seat auditorium, and can house up to 1,400 students.
Since being completed, the $18 million, 105,000 SF Benedict A. Cucinella School has become the centerpiece of the Washington Township School District. The need for the new grades Pre-K through 5 Elementary Sschool -- the district's third elementary school -- grew from tremendous population growth leading to a reorganization plan.
