LeMessurier welcomes three new hires, Keith Brenner, Matt McGinnis, and Princess A., to the team!   Keith joins us as an associate with more than 39 years of experience in the structural engineering field. Outside of work, he enjoys building things with wood and is currently renovating a 75-year-old camp in Rangeley, Maine.   Matt joins our BIM department as a coordinator. He has been in the structural engineering/BIM/Modeler field for 25 years. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his family and friends, basketball, kayaking, fishing, video games, and motorcycles, and he tries to spend time doing most of those things with his son.   Princess recently graduated with her master's degree in Sustainable Building Systems from Northeastern University. She has been in the engineering field for over four years. When not working, she loves spending time in nature -- hiking, taking long walks, or just sitting back to admire the scenery.

Congratulations to Harvard University and the incredible project team! We are thrilled to provide structural engineering services for this transformative facility that redefines the future of theater design in higher education—with mass timber and sustainability at its core.

We’re thrilled to announce that the new Josiah Quincy Upper School (JQUS) has earned LEED Platinum certification! See the post from HMFH Architects, Inc. with more information: https://loom.ly/p4Nmopg   We did our part in reducing the embodied carbon of the structure. Some highlights of our carbon reduction efforts:     •  Normalweight concrete slabs instead of lightweight concrete.  •  Despite a complex urban site, attention was paid to ensuring only the most efficient structural steel layout made it to the drawings.  •  Sloping steel framing and slab at the roof for drainage to avoid excess tapered roof insulation.   HMFH Architects, Inc.

We are pleased to share that the Duan Center for Computing & Data Sciences at Boston University has been featured in Tradeline, Inc.'s article, "Boston University Builds One of the City's Largest Sustainable and Operationally Fossil-Fuel-Free Buildings" "Boston University Builds One of the City’s Largest Sustainable and Operationally Fossil-Fuel-Free Buildings -- The 350,000-sf Duan Family Center for Computing & Data Sciences at Boston University (BU) brings 3,000 students, faculty, and staff together daily inside a LEED platinum-certified 19-story structure that sits at the heart of the university’s main campus. By replacing most of the building’s Portland cement with other supplementary cementitious materials, installing triple-glazed windows and fins to reduce the solar load, and heating and cooling the building with geothermal boreholes paired with active chilled beams, the project team created one of the largest sustainable and operationally fossil-fuel-free buildings in Boston."

February marked the end of an era at LeMessurier as we bid farewell to our dear colleague and friend, Scott R. Whitaker. After 40 years of dedication to the construction industry - working on some of the nation’s most iconic landmarks - Scott is stepping into the next chapter of his journey.   From draftsman to business owner, preservationist to mentor, Scott has worn many hats throughout his illustrious career. His contributions to projects like the U.S. Capitol, Fort Jefferson, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art are nothing short of extraordinary. His legacy isn’t just in the buildings he helped preserve, but in the generations of craftsmen, colleagues, and mentees he has inspired along the way.   In 2020, we were lucky to welcome Scott and his team to the LeMessurier family, where his infectious personality and passion for his work helped us continue our pursuit of growth and excellence. For five years, Scott’s leadership in our Enclosure business has been invaluable, and his impact on our team will be felt for years to come.   As Scott transitions into the next phase of his life, we are thrilled to see him embrace his passions outside of the engineering world - fly-fishing in Maine and Montana and spending quality time with his loved ones. We have no doubt that his next adventure will be as impactful and fulfilling as the last.   Scott, thank you for everything you’ve contributed to LeMessurier and for the mark you’ve left on all of us. Your legacy will continue to inspire us as we move forward, building on the foundation you helped lay.   We wish you all the best as you enjoy this well-earned next chapter!   #LeMessurier #Leadership #Legacy #Mentorship #NewBeginnings

At LeMessurier, we’ve always had a passion for numbers. Last Friday, on Pi Day (March 14th), we toasted to the beauty of math, engineering, and of course… pie! Everyone brought in their favorite pie (yes, any pie you wanted) — from classic apple to creative, out-of-the-box options. It was a great way to honor the constant that drives so much of what we do with a delicious twist. #PiDay #StructuralEngineering #LeMessurier

Bunker Hill CC (BHCC) Career Poster Session brought together 190 students for engaging discussions on architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) career paths.
