DCIU Infrastructure Projects
Exciting New Construction Projects Underway and on the Horizon at DCIU!
As DCIU continues to expand and innovate, we are thrilled to be launching and preparing for several new construction projects that will enhance our facilities and support our mission of delivering exceptional services and products. These projects represent a significant investment in our infrastructure and our commitment to providing a state-of-the-art environment for our students, employees, clients, and partners.

2. Now underway: The Marple Education Center Facilities Project
(December 2024-June 2026)
The DCIU Marple campus will undergo renovations including:
- New HVAC systems throughout the existing building
- A 35,000 square foot Practical Nursing Program addition will be built to accommodate the existing program
- A new Early Intervention parent waiting room will be built to provide an accessible, child-friendly, and comfortable waiting space while evaluations and testing take place
- Infrastructure improvements also include an expanded playground, perimeter fencing, reconfigured parking, and an improved stormwater management system
- Additional work is being planned to ease parking concerns and improve traffic patterns on the site.
This project will enhance the quality of educational programs and provide a modern, efficient environment for students across DCIU’s diverse offerings.

3. Exciting Transformations at Morton
DCIU was thrilled to unveil the transformation of our new main lobby in Morton in Fall 2024. The lobby underwent a makeover including new flooring, modern paint colors and lighting, new ceilings, a sleek reception area, and digital signage to help us communicate DCIU news, updates, and programs.
The improvements extend beyond the inside—our exterior also received a facelift. The side entrances near the executive and business offices had outdated retaining walls that were removed and replaced with attractive new landscaping. The sidewalk leading to the main entrance has been regraded and repoured and we also removed the stairs and ramp, making the entrance flat and more accessible.
DCIU is thrilled to welcome everyone to our refreshed and modernized Morton campus!
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue transforming this space into a more vibrant, spacious, and inviting hub for everyone.
Coming Soon:
- Annex Expansion. Significant changes are also coming with the addition of a new 6,000-square-foot annex. This space will serve as the new home for our Information Technology Repair Shop, workspace for our Facilities and Operations team, and much-needed storage.
