Socially JUST and Equitable Update! 📢 Holmes is excited to embark on Living Future #JUST Initiative, and into a new era of corporate transparency. As of Summer 2024, Holmes has officially received the #JUST Label! In this way, we look forward to maintaining and creating meaningful policies and upholding accountability as a firm and organization. What is a JUST Label? JUST is a voluntary disclosure tool for organizations, managed by the Living Future Institute. The initiative has created a transparency framework and is gaining recognition worldwide as a DEI accountability metric. The label highlights transparency through gender and ethnic diversity, engagement, inclusion and benefits as well as meaningful community interactions.

We’re reminiscing on Associate Principal, Emily Carlip, P.E, S.E.'s and ZGF Architects Partner Kathy Shaloo Berg, AIA's presentation at the GOAL (Green Operations & Advanced Leadership) Invitational in Phoenix earlier this month. The duo, who has most recently collaborated on the WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) Seattle Storm Center for Basketball Performance, focused on the future of venue design and the importance of designing for sustainability. At a glance they covered: - Health and Wellness - Equity Impact - Resilience As designers, we play a key role in the sustainability and equity of the spaces we build. We look forward to pushing industry standards forward as we work towards a more sustainable and equitable future! https://lnkd.in/ePxzybH6 #structuralengineering #sustainabledesign #equityinsports #everyonewatcheswomenssports #architecture

Big Announcement: The University of California, College of the Law, San Francisco (formerly UC Hastings) has launched this affiliate LinkedIn page to share updates and insights related to the vision and evolution of their Academic Village urban campus, an initiative that invites local higher education institutions to share space and resources near San Francisco’s Civic Center. Love a good mini-series? So do we. Starting next week, we'll be sharing an inside perspective of the restoration, preservation, retrofit, and transformation of the historic UC Law SF 100 McAllister high-rise. The project team of UC Law SF, Perkins&Will, Page & Turnbull, Holmes US, and Plant Construction Company, LP will be telling the collaborative story of the process, posted in real time as the project progresses. The reports will offer a transparent lens that focuses on the challenges, opportunities, and lessons learned throughout the process, for the benefit of the design, construction, and development community at large. The 100 McAllister project is extremely complex, even in the context of historic high-rise seismic retrofits, and the team hopes telling this story will help inspire others in the community to take on challenging reuse projects to leverage our existing building resources to decarbonize new development. The content will focus on five primary themes: - Building the Partnerships  - Historic Preservation  - The Carbon Story  - Design & Coordination  - Building the Building Please follow the mini-series through this page, enjoy some historical images, and look forward to the first article release on October 18th! #sfacademicvillage #uclawsf #highereducation #seismicretrofit #historicpreservation #design #decarbonization #perkinswillproud
