Sameer Hasham is celebrated as a Top 10 Under 40 Canadian Consulting Engineer! 👷♂️ 🎉 An Associate & Group Leader, Sameer has been with RJC Engineers for almost 15 years ever since his Co-op placement back in 2010. Having emigrated from Kenya at 17, Sameer completed high school & university in Canada with the goal of building a brighter future for himself & his community at large. 🛫 🇨🇦 He was drawn to physics & became curious about the engineering side of putting things together. 👨🔬 "As soon as I started studying civil engineering, I knew I was exactly where I wanted to be," he says. Today, Sameer is a Certified Passive House Designer & Board Member of the British Columbia Building Envelope Council (BCBEC). Specializing in building science, he focusses on designing enclosures, looking after both structural & thermal engineering. 🏗️ 💡 Sameer has served as a building envelope engineer of record for many high-stakes projects like Vancouver Island's McLoughlin Point Wastewater Treatment Plant & Victoria's LEED-Platinum Capital Park mixed-use building. He also leads hygrothermal analysis & reporting for the retention of heritage fabric in the renewal of Ottawa's Block 2 across from Parliament Hill. "Our Victoria office has doubled in size ever since I joined," Sameer says. "Building science was not well-known when I was in school, but now the young talent coming into the industry is amazing."

This is how office conversions help address Toronto's homeless crisis: https://bit.ly/47kn3Np 🏢 👉 🏡   An estimated 10,627 people were "actively homeless" in the last three months, according to data from the City of Toronto.   Numbers like this call for creative solutions. 💡 Transforming empty offices into shelters is one that's picked up traction.   “Our team has been responsible for directly creating 404 beds in the Toronto Shelter system & that system is near or at 100% every night,” says RJC Principal Paul Fritze in conversation with SiteNews.   “We probably wouldn’t have been able to turn around these projects if it wasn’t for a conversions approach.”   Our work at projects like 4117 Lawrence Ave. East & 101 Placer Court meant changing older, unused buildings into spaces that serve an important community need.   ✅ Both reimagined locations are equipped to service homeless community members with lots of beds & dining spaces among other amenities.   “As a structural engineers, we don’t necessarily get to do such socially impactful work every day, so this is near & dear to us as it creates a tangible difference." #engineeringproject #homelessness #structuralengineers #torontoontario #engineeringconsultants #cityoftoronto
