History

From 1995 to 2008, DMCI Homes was headquartered in Dacon Plaza, 1728 Don Chino Roces Avenue Extension, Makati City, sharing the office with DMCI and Semirara Mining Corporation . Total manpower started at around 75 employees and grew to 600 employees prompting the need to transfer to DMCI Homes Corporate Center in 1321 Apolinario St., Brgy. Bangkal, Makati City (former Intel Building). As of 2012, DMCI Homes’ employees number at around 1,400.

DMCI Homes started its commercial operations in 1999 when it constructed its first Medium Rise Development, the Lake View Manors in Taguig City.

In 2000, the first DMCI Homes hybrid development (Mid- and High-Rise Buildings in a property) is constructed (Hampstead Gardens Condominium). It introduced the Pin Wheel Architectural Design which optimized the flow of fresh air and ambient light into the building.

Don Mills Collegiate Institute

Don Mills Collegiate Institute (also called Don Mills CI, DMCI, DM or Don Mills) is a high school in the community of Don Mills in Toronto. It serves an ethnically diverse student population of approximately 1000. As of 2006, 66% of students speak a first language other than English. The school opened in 1959 by the North York Board of Education in which was later became part of the Toronto District School Board since 1998.

History and location

Initially, the board planned to build two separate schools on the site with a shared heating plant, but in October 1957, trustee Dorothy Bishop prepared a report which raised the possibility of saving money by placing the two schools under one roof, as had previously been done in Vancouver and Calgary.

Land for both a high school and junior high school to serve residents of Don Mills was acquired in 1957 by the North York Board of Education in a land swap with E. P. Taylor‘s Don Mills Development Company. The school board had owned a similarly-sized plot of land on Don Mills Road, which it exchanged for the property at Lawrence Avenue and The Donway East. It was completed in time for the first classes which occurred on September 8, 1959. Currently, the school can be accommodated up to 804 students in capacity.
