Mike McCarthy, VP at Design Communications Ltd. (DCL), joins The Fabricator Podcast to talk about how DCL is at the intersection of engineering, design, and fabrication of some of the most recognizable creative large-scale projects around the country.
DCL specializes architectural custom elements like signs, sculptures, and tech installations. They work closely with designers to engineer and build unique, large-scale projects that utilize a range of materials and fabrication techniques. Some of those projects include the As We Are (aka The Ultimate Selfie Machine) in Columbus, Ohio, SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, and Royal Caribbean's private island retreat Perfect Day at CocoCay.
Established more than 25 years ago, DCL has grown to take on increasingly complex and high-profile projects for clients in the sports, entertainment, and retail industries. Their in-house team of over 50 fabricators collaborates closely with engineers and project managers to bring complex creative visions to life, often overcoming challenges and finding innovative solutions through the fabrication process.
McCarthy and DCL also actively engages with students to promote STEM and STEAM education, offering facility tours and speaking at schools to inspire the next generation of designers and manufacturers.
