Dean Robert Camlin & Associates, Inc. is an architectural design firm founded in 1977 by Melvin Arbaugh. The company was born of Melvin’s desire to use his architectural skills and knowledge in a way that would provide value to the community and was able to accomplish this goal by offering design services for new construction, renovations, and restorations of both residential and commercial properties. A few years after the firm’s establishment, Mr. Arbaugh made a valuable addition to his team. A graduate of Kent State University’s College of Architecture and Environmental Design, Dean Camlin joined the architectural firm as a project management intern in 1982. For the next four years, Dean worked under the direction of Mr. Arbaugh and grew his technical knowledge and hands-on experience in all aspects of architectural building design and construction review. This helped provide Mr. Camlin with the qualifications needed to take the Architect Registration Exam in 1986. He passed the exam on the first attempt, and by 1991, less than 10 years after he began as an intern at the company, he purchased the design firm from Mr. Arbaugh. Today, the firm continues to design high-quality buildings for clients in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia and D.C.
