We keep up-to-date on the latest industry news, and we thought we'd share some of our favorites with you.
The times are a-changin', and so is the technology available to revolutionize the practices of structural engineering, architecture and manufacturing.
Our project section displays a large range of industries we support.

August 18, 2021 – MBJ is honored to have been the structural engineer of record on the USS Arizona Memorial Gardens, which has won a Best Projects award from Engineering News Record Southwest in the Landscape/Urban Development category. The 5-acre memorial, dedicated to the crew of the USS Arizona, takes its form and dimensions from the original ship and is delineated by lit columns representing each of the crew members. At the center of the gardens is a building that houses a 4800 pound relic of the ship, surrounded by a plaza and reflecting pool.

August 12, 2021 – MBJ ACE champion Saura Jost recently participated in a podcast panel discussion about ACE and its benefits to both employers and students. A Twin Cities ACE board member and longtime ACE mentor, Saura talked about how the Twin Cities program has expanded to draw more mentors and include more students as well as how businesses can get involved. Other guest speakers were Monica Worheide, National Director of Affiliates, and Khalil Berryhill, Regional director and former mentor and student.
ACE is a free mentorship program that introduces high school students to the fields of architecture, construction, and engineering. The program also awards $2.5 million in annual scholarships to students pursuing industry related careers.
The podcast, called ilume, is produced by Kraus-Anderson Insurance and can be found on KA’s web site as well as iTunes, Spotify, or Amazon Music.
