As a structural engineer, it is always rewarding and fulfilling when you see your projects come to life. A major milestone was lifted (pun intended) with the topping out of this modular building in Brooklyn. This building will provide affordable and sustainable senior living to the neighborhood. It was a pleasure to be part of the structural engineering and design team and I am looking forward to the next one!
