McSal joined industry peers yesterday at the UMass Boston Poster Session, presented by Haley & Aldrich and the Professional Women in Construction Boston Chapter, talking to students about the day-to-day life of a structural engineer. It was great to see students asking questions about our challenging and complex projects and applications of statics/dynamics in the real world. We discussed our two featured projects, American Dream and Parcel 12, and the various roles and positions in our company that made the design come to life. If you're interested in joining our team visit our website to see our current openings and to apply: https://lnkd.in/eUKkGnhg Thanks to Alex Bonnar, P.E., Brett MacDonald, and Chelsea Medina for representing McSal, and to H&A and PWC Boston for hosting this career exploration event, we loved being a part of it! #creativetothecore #structuralengineering #structuralengineer #structuralengineers #structuralengineeringcareers #structuralengineeringjobs #careerdevelopment #careers #jobopenings #engineeringjobs #careerexploration

Construction at Nautilus 220 is moving swiftly toward completion, with the recent removal of all tower cranes marking a key milestone. This signals that the major structural phases of the project have been finalized, and the development is now transitioning into the interior finish stages. The project comprises two 24-story towers, collectively offering 330 luxury residences along the waterfront in Lake Shore, Florida. With its commanding presence and modern aesthetic, the superstructure rises prominently against the skyline, underscoring the project’s grand scale. On the exterior, glazing work is nearing completion. Glass railings have been installed up to the North Tower's rooftop deck, and progress on the South Tower has reached the 23rd floor. The remaining glass panels around the podium levels are awaiting installation. Both towers also see significant progress in exterior stucco and painting, marking the final touches to the building’s overall aesthetic. Inside the residences, drywall finishing is nearing completion for both towers. Kitchen and bathroom cabinetry installation and bathroom tile installation are underway. Flooring has been installed through the 21st floor, contributing to the rapid interior progress. The one-acre outdoor amenity deck is in its final stages of waterproofing, while the shell for the resort-style pool is being shaped, and concrete walkways are in progress. On the rooftop deck of the North Tower, tile has been completed in the pool and spa areas, and waterproofing is almost finished. Paver installation is also underway. Electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and masonry work continues across the development. Project Teams: • Developers: Forest Development, Royal Palm Companies • Architect: R + N ARCHITECTURE • Structural Engineer: McNamara • Salvia, Structural Engineers • Interior Designer: INTERIORS BY STEVEN G., INC. • Mechanical Engineer: RGD Consulting Engineers • General Contractor: Kast Construction • Shell & Concrete Contractor: Baker Construction, Baker Concrete Constructors • Glazing: ADCO Installers, All American Windows and Doors • Stucco: Griffin Stucco • Painting: Mid South Painting, Inc. • Project Management: Zabik & Associates, Inc. • Sales: Oculus Realty Nautilus 220 is expected to be fully realized and completed by early 2025, introducing a new standard for luxury living in Lake Shore.

AdventHealth Riverview's grand opening is approaching and we are excited to celebrate the completion of the new hospital 👏 The 4-story facility creates a new major healthcare campus for Hillsborough County and the Riverview community. Learn more about the project here: https://lnkd.in/e3sxPyXA and we look forward to the official opening! HuntonBrady Architects | AdventHealth West Florida | Robins & Morton #creativetothecore #structuraldesign #structuralengineering #structuralengineer #structuralengineers #healthcare #healthcaredesign #hospital #hospitaldesign #adventhealth #riverview #riverviewfl #flrealestate #flconstruction
We are only four weeks out from the grand opening of AdventHealth Riverview, and the buzz of activity and progress is exciting. Most of the needed clearances and certificates from regulating agencies have been attained, over 300 team members are already on the payroll, and our medical staff has elected its first medical executive committee. The 70% of Riverview’s team members who are new to AdventHealth have been paired for orientation with peers at other AdventHealth facilities, for a better understanding of our mission and culture. There’s no denying my enthusiasm for new buildings and technology. (Is there such a thing as a new hospital smell?) But most of my eagerness is reserved for the physicians and team members who will be joining our AdventHealth West Florida Division family and for the Riverview residents who we will serve with whole-person care. #HillsboroughCounty #communityimpact #healthcare
