Join us for our Conversations With program featuring Carol Gladstone, Commissioner and Jay Mitchell, Deputy Commissioner of Design & Construction at DCAMM. 

DCAMM's job is to work with state agencies to create and manage forward-thinking, sustainable buildings to meet the needs of the citizens they serve. They are partners with fellow agencies to help them meet their strategic needs with fiscally responsible building and real estate solutions. They support the growth of the Commonwealth’s economy and actively engage with private sector partners to make it easier to do business with the Commonwealth.

In addition, they certify companies to bid on vertical construction projects put out to bid by Massachusetts public agencies pursuant to M.G.L. Chapters 149, 149A and 25A.
