QUADWORK

Public sector · 2011–2019

Public trust, at national scale.

Before UMD, members of our team spent most of a decade at the agency ALEX+TOM building for the National Park Service, the Department of the Treasury and the Export-Import Bank. Those sites served the whole public, under federal rules for accessibility and plain language.

For your campus

Federal habits that universities now need.

  • Compliance as a baselineSection 508 work prepared us for ADA Title II. Accessibility is part of the definition of done, not a late audit.
  • Many audiences, one siteTreasury had investors, agencies and the public. You have prospective students, families, faculty, alumni and donors.
  • Security that passes reviewInfrastructure as code and documented deployments make IT security reviews, such as HECVAT, easier to clear.
