D&B Engineers and Architects recently marked its 60th year with a special anniversary celebration and open house event at its headquarters in Woodbury, NY.
Clients, colleagues, and local elected officials gathered to tour the newly renovated headquarters and to honor the innovation, integrity and impact D&B has made over the past six decades. The celebration included passed hors d’oeuvres, light fare, a special toast with brief remarks, and a ceremonial ribbon cutting to honor the renovated headquarters and sixty years of D&B.

“We feel a really strong connection with our community,” said Executive Vice President William D. Merklin, P.E. “We’re committed, and we’re staying here in the Town of Oyster Bay. We love working with all of you…Thank you for sharing this day with us.”
D&B leadership signed a new ten-year lease for the office space and upgraded the office areas with state-of-the-art conference room technology, a windowed entryway, remodeled and modernized bathroom facilities, an open floor plan for staff, modernized kitchen amenities, and dedicated spaces to foster collaboration.
