Spectacular images marking another exciting milestone for the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) as they modernize the academies' training capabilities by decommissioning and replacing their current fleet of training ships. RMF is honored to be working on three out of four of these projects, including Massachusetts Maritime Academy, to fortify their local grids, enhance utility support, and build resilient systems for these incredible maritime academies!

Exciting News from MUSC!    Last week marked a significant milestone as we celebrated the topping out of the College of Health Professions (CHP) building at the Medical University of South Carolina. This new, modern facility is set to transform medical education in the heart of downtown Charleston.    Key Highlights:   🏢 Spanning approximately 90,000 square feet over six floors, the new building will support the growing fields of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology.  Designed with a focus on natural light, it features 5,000 SF of research space, a 6,000 SF auditorium, faculty / staff offices, and common spaces that foster an engaging learning environment for undergraduates, graduates, and faculty alike. The layout includes multipurpose educational spaces on the second to fourth floors, allowing seamless integration of lab and classroom experiences.    🌊 With a commitment to resilience, the building is constructed three feet above the floodplain and designed to withstand hurricane conditions, ensuring safety and durability.    🏗️ Scheduled to open in 2025, the CHP building will be pivotal in accommodating the growing enrollment in key programs.    RMF is providing MEP design in collaboration with SMHa.    Clark Nexsen     #rmf #rmfengineering #engineeringdesign #MUSC #medicaluniversity

📣 REGISTER NOW! https://bit.ly/4eX6aLh   On Thursday, October 24th Medical Construction & Design will host a virtual CEU event featuring three courses focused on designing, building, and collaborating for infection control in healthcare and hospital design. Join Michael Scruggs, PE with RMF Engineering and Becky Smith, AIA LEED AP+BC with LS3P ASSOCIATES LTD. for their session, “Building Engineering for Infection Control,” at 1:00 PM. Infection and contamination control are vital for hospital infrastructure, ensuring the safety of both patients and healthcare providers. Well-designed building and engineering systems are essential for optimizing space layout, surface material, air supply, circulation, pressurization, hazardous exhaust, and plumbing for health and comfort. Learn about the Medical University of South Carolina’s (MUSC) recent projects, including the Ashley River Tower bone marrow transplant outpatient clinic and the Hollings Cancer Center chemo pharmacy, which highlight best practices in infection control today and preparing us for the future. This webinar offers AIA/HSW credits. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your knowledge in healthcare design! #rmf #rmfengineering #healthcaredesign #infectioncontrol #MUSC #LS3P

Grateful to celebrate another project milestone with our longstanding partner, Greenland Enterprises, Inc.! RMF is the designer of record for this steam plant renovation at Hill Air Force Base.

Introducing Gadsden + Greene, a new off-campus housing development for second, third, and fourth-year students at the University of South Carolina. With the final piece of precast set earlier this month, the multi-use, total precast complex is set to open in fall 2025. The 11-story, 778,000 SF building will feature apartment-style beds, each with its own bathroom, alongside retail space, a resort-style pool, parking, and leasing areas for USC’s Columbia campus. Given the limited on-campus housing for upperclassmen, Gadsden + Greene aims to provide a much-needed solution, fostering a vibrant student community in a prime location. The 737 Gadsden Street project is being provided by the USC Development Foundation, exclusively for USC students.   Project Team: - MEP Engineer: RMF Engineering, Inc. - Architect: Cooper Carry - General Contractor: New South Construction - Developer: Holder Properties - Owner: USC Development Foundation   #rmf #rmfengineering #USC #CampusHousing #HigherEducation #designengineering Footage courtesy of New South Construction 

On behalf of our client Harvard University Housing and Real Estate (HUHRE), Northstar is pleased to share an important milestone at 100 South Campus Drive, a project that will bring 276 apartment units, a 75-space below-grade parking garage, and several amenity spaces for university-affiliates to the Allston neighborhood of Boston. The project recently achieved Passive House precertification through Phius, a key component of HUHRE and the project team’s commitment to sustainability. PHIUS sets a rigorous standard for energy efficiency, comfort, and sustainability in buildings. It focuses on minimizing energy consumption through continuous insulation, airtight construction, high-performance windows, and mechanical ventilation systems. Precertification is an important milestone in this process, indicating that the design has undergone a thorough review and meets the stringent PHIUS energy performance criteria. Achieving this milestone demonstrates that the project design is on track and will facilitate full certification once completed and verified. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this exciting journey towards a more sustainable future!

Announcing the grand opening of the Albert Simons Center for the Arts! After a three-year, multi-million-dollar renovation, the College of Charleston now boasts a modern facility complete with a black box theatre, expansive studios, enhanced performance support areas, new computer, and theatre design labs, and more.    This long-anticipated renovation has led to a stunning facility, perfectly tailored to accommodate current and future programming needs. RMF has enjoyed being a part of this transformative project, providing engineering design, which also included a new CEP located on the 3rd floor that will serve the newly renovated Simons Center and adjacent buildings.    Constructed in 1979, the original four-story structure, spanning 85,000 square feet, served as a fine arts center for a then 5,000-student college. In 2009, The Marion and Wayland H. Cato Jr. Center for the Arts marked the expansion of this arts center, strategically located at the southeast junction of Calhoun and St. Philip streets. The Simons Center has consistently remained a significant cornerstone in the artistic tapestry of Charleston since its establishment and will now carry on this tradition for many more decades with more grandeur and functionality.    Read more here: https://bit.ly/4eE5oD5   Liollio Architecture, HGA, The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company   📸: Paul Cheney #rmf #rmfengineering #engineeringdesign #grandopening #performingarts #CollegeofCharleston
