PROJECT DESCRIPTION

National Hall Parking GarageWestport, Connecticut ■ 2013

This one level addition to an existing parking

structure is indicative of our unique way of

looking for opportunities.

In order to support the adjacent redevelopment

project, additional parking was necessary. Having

already utilized all available land left one option –

add a level to the existing precast concrete garage.

Mitigating factors included an extremely tight site,

significant overhead utilities in the area, and the fact

that the original garage was not designed to support

a second level. SDE designed a steel-frame long-span

structure that spanned over and penetrated through

the existing structure without imparting additional

loads. At one end the existing curved helical ramp

was extended up to access the new roof level. The

steel frame was blast cleaned and painted and a

colored concrete and brick façade was used for a

compatible look to the existing structure below.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Broadway Lofts GarageEverett, Massachusetts ■ 2013

Simon Design was brought in to provide

professional Engineer of Record services

through a refferal of a satisfied client based on

past experience.

The former Charleston Chew candy factory in

Everett, MA is being converted to apartments and

expanded. Simon Design Engineering was engaged

by the developer to design an economical 300-car

parking garage on an odd shaped site to support the

development. During the design phase it became

clear that one of the overall project’s requirements

was the need to bury and cap existing soil to avoid

costly disposal. SDE modified the ramping scheme

in order to maximize the volume of buried soil.

Structurally the garage has precast and cast-in-place

concrete decks with a galvanized steel frame. The

parking structure will be cladded with a fabric screen

to allow for translucency, economy, and flexibility to

decorate the structure.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Saint Anne’s Hospital Osborn Street GarageFall River, Massachusetts ■ 2012

9 Months From Concept Sketch to Occupancy.

The renovation of St. Anne’s Hospital campus first

required the construction of a parking structure to

free up land for a new health care building. The

design-build delivery method was used to expedite

the delivery of the garage, which took less than nine

months from concept to occupancy.

The only site available was very small and required

a non-conventional ramping and circulation solution.

The parking was to support the hospital employees

who would use the facility 24/7, so security and

openness were critical components of the design.

A galvanized steel frame and both precast and

cast-in-place concrete were used for this structure.

The structure was designed to allow for horizontal

expansion should adjacent property be available for

further development. SDE was the Engineer of Record

for the project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Brigham Patient Parking Garage and Thea and James M. Stoneman Centennial Park Brigham and Women’s HospitalBoston, Massachusetts ■ Open Fall 2014

With a focus on improved design efficiencies,

differentiating construction techniques, and

leveraging the design-build team’s experience

in order to minimize the amount of rock

removal, Simon Design Engineering developed

an alternate scheme for this underground

parking garage resulting in significant

cost savings while shaving months off the

construction schedule.

This 400-space underground parking garage and

40,000 square foot landscaped park is surrounded

by three hospital buildings in Boston’s busy

Longwood Medical Area. The project restores the

original formal entrance to the Peter Bent Brigham

Building. In our response to the Request for

Proposals (RFP), the Design-Build Team proposed a

radically different approach from what was initially

conceived. Key features included reconfiguring

parking and circulation to improve efficiency,

extending the footprint beyond the property line and

to within two feet of the existing buildings by using

secant pile walls in lieu of slurry walls, and using

post-tensioned concrete flat-plate construction to

reduce floor-to-floor heights.

The over-riding cost factor for the project was the

blasting and removal of bedrock. Our scheme

reduced the amount of bedrock removal so

significantly that it eliminated one full level of

underground parking.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

EF Education First North American HeadquatersCambridge, Massachusetts ■ 2013

Skanska USA and Simon Design team up on

EF Education First’s new North American

headquarters.

Simon Design Engineering (SDE) was approached

by Skanska USA to participate with them in a select

design-build competition for EF Education First’s new

North American headquarters adjacent to the famous

Leonard P. Zakim Bridge. SDE redesigned and value

engineered the entire structural system – the lower

parking levels were converted to steel framing similar

to the building above and the building’s lateral load-

resisting system was changed to braced frames

located in fixed wall locations around the cores.

The signature feature of this 12-story, 300,000

square foot building is an architectural glass

“waterfall.” This three-dimensional steel pipe frame

truss creates an atrium the height of the building and

is enclosed by glazing that wraps the south and east

facades of the building.

The project employed BIM from early design through

construction.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

360 State Street South Garage New Haven, Connecticut n 2010

360 State Street, located in downtown

New Haven, is Connecticut’s largest residential

project and the first to achieve LEED Platinum

status.

The South Garage is a six-story, 125,000 square

foot structure adjacent to a 31-story residential

tower. It houses a grocery store on the street level,

supports a swimming pool, planters, and a terrace

on its roof, and provides one-third of the 500 parking

spaces for the development on the levels

in between.

The South Garage is tied to a six-story cast-in-place

post-tensioned concrete podium. Designed by

others, the podium was partially complete before

the South Garage was in design development. This

presented the design-build team with a number of

coordination challenges. Simon Design changed

the structural system to a steel frame and precast

double tee deck, providing significant cost savings

while shaving eight months off the schedule.

However, the fast-track schedule required that this

new design conform to the previously installed

deep foundation system. In addition, detailing and

fabrication of the superstructure had to begin

before the façade design was complete. Working

within the parameters established by the lead

architect, provisions were made to allow for

maximum flexibility.

Simon Design provided Engineer of Record and

Precast Concrete Design/Detailing services on this

project. Working directly with the steel and precast

fabricators and the Construction Manager allowed

for the seamless implementation of the design as

it progressed.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Yale University School of Medicine, Amistad Laboratory Building and Parking Garage New Haven, Connecticut n 2007

Throughout the multi-phased design,

construction, and operations of the project,

Simon Design Engineering performed numerous

engineering consulting and design roles to

assist the Owner. In the end, the team met

and succeeded at each of the challenges

presented.

This project consists of a 120,000 square-foot

laboratory building and an adjacent 1,000-space

parking structure. In order to meet the development

rights, schedule, and funding for the project,

significant challenges were faced by the design and

construction team, including: a delivery method that

was a unique blend of design-build and conventional;

a multi-phased design, construction and operation

schedule; the mixed-use requirements of the

buildings; the Owner’s changing programming needs

for the liner building, and; design and construction on

an urban brownfields site.

Simon Design provided services on this project in

three distinct phases. The first consisted of the

design and construction of the parking facility and

the shared foundations with the liner building.

Phase Two included the shell and core of what was

originally planned to be a medical office building,

with the understanding that the final use could be

different. The steel structure and its lateral load

resisting system were designed to allow maximum

flexibility for final fit-out. The liner building’s basement

extends underneath the parking structure; this unique

programming required a number of building code

modifications to allow for such an arrangement of

building uses including the need for an offset double

fire separation assembly.

Ultimately, the building was converted to a clinical

research laboratory. Simon Design was retained

by the fit-out Architect to design the necessary

modifications to the structure. The change in use

required the addition of a mechanical penthouse level

and the introduction of an additional line of columns

to reduce beam spans and limit vibrations that could

affect the sensitive equipment in the building.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

JetBlue Airways Yellow Garage at John F. Kennedy International Airport Queens, NewYork n 2008

Simon Design, as part of the design/build team,

revised the original structural system, footprint,

and column grid to facilitate fabrication of the

structrual steel and precast components to

provide significant savings in cost, time, and

construction efforts.

This 650,000 square foot, six-level parking structure

provides parking for over 1,500 vehicles and services

JetBlue Airways’ expanding Terminal 5 operations at

the John F. Kennedy International Airport. In order

to maintain the project delivery date and to allow

for additional utilities, the existing utilities were not

relocated prior to construction. Despite efforts,

considerable conflicts with existing underground

utilities resulted in approximately fifty percent of the

foundations being redesigned during construction.

Simon Design worked closely with the Contractor

to keep pile-driving and construction operations

going as the foundation structural redesign was

being done in real-time with construction. By using

BIM technology, in conjunction with the steel and

precast manufactures, Simon Design was able to

accurately layout and design the project foundations

and superstructure relative to the known and realized

existing conditions. The BIM model also aided in the

steel and precast integration in order to facilitate the

project schedule and reduce conflicts.

Many large and small scale changes were made to

the original design; one such change was the elevator

core location. Simon Design recognized the benefits

of relocating the core such as a shortened project

delivery schedule and a better pedestrian flow.

These on-the-fly changes required services beyond

typical EOR. Simon Design worked in close

coordination with the Port Authority to provide design/

build guidance, assistance, and oversight while

maintaining professional integrity and exceeding the

Owner’s best interests.

Simon Design provides JetBlue Airways with the

following services: Conceptual Project Design, Project

Programming, Value Engineering and Management,

Parking Consulting, Structural Engineer of Record,

Project Coordination, Material Evaluation Services,

Quality Assurance, and Project Closeout.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

MBTA Beverly Depot Station Parking Garage Beverly, Massachusetts n Ongoing

Addressing one of the client’s key objectives, the

facility is conceived as one that is sustainable and

durable, requiring minimal maintenance over time.

Based on a life-cycle cost analysis, a cast-in-place

post-tensioned concrete structure was chosen.

The parking garage at the Beverly Depot Station

is the MBTA’s first Construction Manager at Risk

Project. Originally conceived as a Transportation

Oriented Development (TOD) opportunity to include

a long-term lease of MBTA property, the garage and

a mixed-use development, Simon Design was on the

only Developer-Design/Build Team that proposed a

solution that met all of the MBTA’s needs. Due to the

economic climate at the time, the TOD portion of the

project was deferred. However, the MBTA hired the

design team to prepare 30% Documents based on our

initial proposal.

Our team then competed for and was chosen to

complete the final design for the facility. The scope

of the project includes a 500-car four-level garage

and pedestrian access to the nearby MBTA station

via a bridge over Pleasant Street. The parking

structure is designed and sited to accommodate a

range of possible future TOD projects, which would

likely consist of residential or other mixed-use

development components and could be built on top of

the garage, adjacent to it, or both. In order to provide

adequate space on the tight multi-level site, the

garage is located partially within the railroad right-

of-way. Functionally, the garage is designed to serve

commuters in the short term and be readily modified

to provide segregated parking should it be required by

the future TOD.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Elliot Health System n Elliot at Rivers Edge Garage A, B, n 2nd Medical Office Building Manchester, New Hampshire n Ongoing

As part of our design/build-assist scope of work,

Simon Design Engineering modified the structural

layout and framing, realigned the ramps to conform

to the existing sloping site, and improved the

efficiency of the parking layout and circulation.

Elliot Health System, in conjunction with a private

developer, redeveloped an urban site in downtown

Manchester, New Hampshire. Garage ‘A’, which was

included in the first phase of this redevelopment,

serves the Elliot at River’s Edge Ambulatory Care

Center (ACC). This 966-car, six-level, 300,000 square-

foot parking facility and the ACC are located adjacent

to an active railroad line, the Merrimack River, and a

residential area. The constrained site posed logistical

challenges in terms of delivery and lay-down of

precast components and erection of the structure

adjacent to the on-going construction of the ACC.

Key aspects of the project include vehicular access

via a precast concrete bridge and a pedestrian bridge

connecting the garage to the adjacent Ambulatory

Care Center. Due to the garage’s prominent location

on the Merrimack River across from the interstate

highway, the architectural finishes were critical to the

project – by using white cement and form liners for

the exterior components, the required architectural

character was achieved at a nominal cost.

Based on the success of Garage ‘A’, Simon Design

was retained by the Developer and Construction

Manager to be part of the design/build team to

deliver the next phase of the development – the

new Medical Office Building (MOB) and the adjacent

Garage ‘B’. We proposed a highly efficient 300-car

three-story parking structure utilizing the sloping site

to provide access to all levels, eliminating the need

for internal ramps and providing flat open floors that

improved the passive security of the facility. A 200

foot long pedestrian bridge connecting the ACC to the

adjacent MOB is also part of the project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Briston-Myers Squibb, Parking GarageDevens, Massachusetts ■ 2009

Three Month Design and Review Process and A

Six Month On-Site Construction Schedule.

This design/build garage is part of Bristol-Myers

Squibb’s $750 million biologics manufacturing

facility in Devens, MA made possible through Public-

Private partnership with the Commonwealth of

Massachusetts. As part of the design/build team

Simon Design Engineering served as Designer of

Record, precast component designer and detailer for

the parking structure. The program required that the

garage be designed and detailed to allow for future

vertical expansion as the Owner completes its phased

construction and operations on the Devens Campus.

Bristol-Myers Squibb elected to provide a structure

to meet its current needs with the inclusion of a roof

and leave all expansion for the future. Simon Design

recently completed the design of modifications to

allow for parking on the existing roof level and it is

anticipated that design for the vertical expansion will

begin in the spring of 2013.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Logan International Airport Terminal Renovation and Expansion East Boston, Massachusets ■ 2010

Existing moment-frame structure seismically

upgraded with new steel bracing.

The renovation and expansion of the existing

Terminal-E Annex building at Logan International

Airport, formerly known as Terminal-D, allowed

Southwest Airlines to enter the Boston market with

new gates and concessions. The 34,000 square-

foot renovation project provided additional gates for

future air carriers, created new passenger holdroom

space, developed shell space for a future security

checkpoint, and included a new baggage claim

system.

A new roof structure was added and large floor

openings were infilled to create additional occupied

space. In addition, there were various existing

floor elevations within the space which required

adjustments to match, including at interfaces

between adjacent terminal buildings.

Simon design performed a Chapter 34 structural build

code review and created a 3D model of the existing

structure to determine the reserve capacities and/or

deficiencies of lateral load resisting system. Working

closely with the Architect and Construction Manager,

new seismic bracing locations were selected to avoid

interference with internal circulation. New foundations

were limited to only one additional pile cap which was

located outside the existing footprint, avoiding costly

and time-consuming work within the building and near

existing underground utilities.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Logan International Airport Terminal B Renovation and Expansion East Boston, Massachusets ■ 2014

Between 2012 and 2014, Terminal B underwent

a $160 million renovation. The renovation

created a post-security walkway connecting

Terminal B North to Terminal B South and

became the new home for all United Airlines

flights.

Renovations and improvements to Logan International

Airport’s Terminal B included 24 ticket counter

positions, a relocated and modified TSA passenger

checkpoint, 10 reconfigured departure lounges and

boarding gates, a secure passenger connection to

Pier B, concessional shell space, new club shell

space and new baggage systems and bag claim

devices. Several airside improvements, including a

reconfigured apron and aircraft fueling system, were

also part of the project scope.

Working at an operational airport had its challenges.

Construction was a 24-hour operation in order to

work around the airport’s busiest hours. Check point

installation ran from 6 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. to avoid the

high traffic times. In addition, temporary walls were a

crucial part of this project to separate the public from

the work and to mitigate noise.

Other challenges included the concern that a major

milestone in the project—the installation of the

baggage handling system (BHS), a $15-million,

eight-month process—would not be met in time. But

through the use of building information modeling

(BIM), the team was able to keep coordination-related

changes to a minimum and expedite the installation

process to meet the aggressive time line. Through the

use of BIM, there was a 15% time savings on the BHS

schedule. An additional 15% schedule savings was

achieved on the installation of the 12 new TSA check

point lanes through the use of pull planning.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Bayside Development, Master Plan and Parking Garage Portland, Maine n Ongoing

As a follow-up to the Ocean Gateway project

in Portland, Maine, Simon Design Engineering

competed and won a project to assist the

city in developing a master plan and to produce

construction documents for a parking

facility to revitalize a section of Portland known

as Bayside.

Bayside represents an opportunity to shape the last

and largest land resource of the Portland Peninsula

and is intended to be an attractive urban gateway

featuring a mix of uses. This district will create a

new front face of the City with housing, workplaces,

services, transportation, recreation, dining and

shopping, all within comfortable walking distance of

each other and the downtown. The parking structure’s

proximity to the bicycle path and municipal transit

creates a unique multi modal opportunity.

Simon Design’s involvement in the Bayside project

began in 2005 as part of a multidisciplinary

consultant and design team providing the City

of Portland with services associated with the

parking garage. In our role as parking engineer and

consultant, we supported the Consultant Team in the

execution of the planning and design work necessary

to gain consensus and develop solutions for the

parking facility and its coordination and integration

with the overall development. We participated

regularly with City of Portland in internal meetings and

public agency reviews and presentations with a wide

range of stakeholders.

The scope of our effort included all necessary

analysis, programming, planning, design, and

engineering to meet the City’s objectives and

culminated in the production of a complete set of

construction documents for the parking facility.

Unfortunately, due to the poor economic climate,

the project has yet to be realized. There have

been, however, several attempts to jump start the

development of this area and build upon the effort

started and, in May 2011, a private developer

received approval from the Community Development

Committee to purchase and develop the Bayside

property.

Simon Design Engineering’s involvement in the

Bayside redevelopment and other parking garage

projects has led to our being a resource for the City

of Portland and local developers to determine the

viability of parking in an evolving downtown.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Winooski Falls Downtown Redevelopment n Master PlanWinooski, Vermont n 2006

Winner of the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency’s 2006 National Award for Smart

Growth Achievement, the Winooski Downtown

Redevelopment project created a thriving, attractive

center with much-needed housing, stores, offices,

and public spaces.

The city preserved or restored nearly 100 acres

of natural habitat, returned vacant properties to

productive use, created several neighborhood parks,

and built the pedestrian-friendly RiverWalk.

Simon Design Engineering provided services on this

redevelopment project in three distinct phases.

Initially, in concert with a local architect, Simon Design

was involved in the conceptual, master planning, and

permitting phases, which included permitting through

Vermont Act 250. The project was funded through a

unique public-private partnership between federal,

state, local, and private entities, which created a

diverse project agenda that Simon Design helped to

mitigate and worked diligently to address.

Simon Design then served as the prime designer

and Structural Engineer of Record for the municipal

parking garage, which was at the core of the

redevelopment. Built on a sloping site and tucked

behind liner buildings on all four sides, the facility

has two vehicular entrances, two primary pedestrian

access points, and connections to the surrounding

buildings at all levels. Interface with these buildings,

both structurally and in terms of functionality, and

code-related egress and openness issues were keys

to the design.

Simon Design was also retained to provide parking

consulting services for the entire redevelopment.

The Project consisted of approximately 220 on-street

parking spaces within the Central Business District

(CBD) and 930 spaces inside the garage. The scope

of services included coordination of a comprehensive

access and revenue controls solution with functionality

that met the city of Winooski’s requirements, including

review and refinement of capital equipment and

maintenance budgets, development of the required

scope of the new access and revenue controls, and

management of the procurement process for the

systems. To promote a user-friendly, safe, navigable,

and durable facility, Simon Design reviewed,

recommended, and reported on improvements to the

garage, including: parking and circulation efficiency,

lighting, security, pedestrian egress, signage and

wayfinding, maintenance, and operations.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Yawkey Center for Cancer Care Boston, Massachusetts n 2010

Simon Design was brought in to provide

professional Engineer of Record services for

Dana-Farber’s new signature building based on

our decade long relationship that dates back to

the design of the adjacent award-winning Smith

Research Laboratories.

This $350 million, 500,000 square foot, 22-story

structure houses seven clinical floors, six laboratory

and research floors, miscellaneous mechanical floors,

and has seven stories of below grade parking. This

structure is essentially an addition to the award-

winning Smith Research Laboratories structure and

shares all common floors.

Vibrations caused by the adjacent power plant that

services the Longwood Medical Area posed unique

design challenges. The sensitive equipment used in

the new facility, as well as the consideration for out-

patients receiving life-saving treatments, required that

these vibrations not be felt in the building.

A structural system was developed that was entirely

isolated from the surrounding soils. The slurry

walls around the below grade parking levels are

supported by permanent tie-back anchors with an air

gap provided between the walls and superstructure.

Deep foundations elements, founded on bedrock,

are isolated to minimize the propagation of vibrations

into the structure. This project also includes a tunnel

connecting the new Yawkey Center with the existing

Dana Building providing convenient and safe access

from a valet- managed drop-off area to a new MRI

center.

SDE provides Dana-Farber Cancer Institute with the

following services: Owner’s Agent, Conceptual Project

Design, Project Programming, Value Engineering and

Management, Parking Consulting, Structural Engineer

of Record, Project Coordination, Material Evaluation

Services, Quality Assurance, and Project Closeout.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Dana Building Renovations and Backfill Boston, Massachusetts n Ongoing

Simon Design continues its long-standing

relationship with Dana-Farber to renovate

existing space vacated upon completion of the

new Yawkey Center for Cancer Care building. The

scope of work is separated into various related

projects, consisting of more than 100,000 square

feet of renovated space.

Simon Design’s continued involvement in all of

the backfill projects, in addition to our extensive

experience with the overall campus, serves to provide

continuity and a coordinated approach among the

different projects.

The planned renovations will allow for consolidation

and expansion of Dana-Farber administrative services

and patient care while re-cladding the existing cast-in-

place concrete podium structure to blend the campus

together architecturally. Structural work includes: the

demolition of existing parking ramps and the infill of

new floors; raising existing floors to match elevations;

support of both rooftop and interior mechanical

equipment; accommodation of a new curtainwall

system; a new main employee entrance and stair, and

support of various architectural upgrades including

canopies, signage, and façade systems. Existing

infrastructure and MEP systems will be replaced and

upgraded as required.

Simon Design performed a Chapter 34 structural

building code review of each building on the campus

to assist in determining the extent and scope of

feasible renovations and additions.

Simon Design provides the Dana-Farber Cancer

Institute with the following services: Owner’s Agent,

Financial Planning Assistance, Community Approval,

Programming, Value Engineering, Parking Consulting,

Structural Engineer of Record, Project Coordination,

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Jay Peak Resort Parking Structure Jay, VT n 2010

Simple Site-Specific Solution Addresses Extreme

Weather, a Tight Site and a Limited Budget

Jay Peak Resort recently finished the construction

of a new hotel, ice rink and indoor water park,

successfully transforming their resort into a

four-season experience. The opening of these

new attractions brought the need for additional

visitor parking that would be in keeping with the

scenic surroundings, convenient to all structures,

and constructible within schedule and budget

requirements.

Several alternatives were considered. At first, in an

effort to avoid acres of surface parking that could

potentially mar the landscape, the Owner considered

providing the necessary parking below the new

buildings. However, the benefits of doing so were

outweighed by the significant cost and schedule

impacts. In response, Simon Design developed the

right solution for the Owner: a simple, stand-alone

facility built into the hillside in close proximity to the

new facilities. By constructing the parking at Jay Peak

in this way, the Owner was able to provide ample,

conveniently located parking at a fraction of the cost.

This approach provided many benefits including

logical and convenient locations of pedestrian access

points, multiple vehicle access points and enhanced

traffic flow, and the creation of protected, covered

parking and storage spaces.

Overall, the value realized by the Owner at Jay

Peak was long-term and far-reaching. Simon Design

delivered a solution that achieved on-schedule

completion, optimal site utilization and design,

maximum convenience, safety for end-users and

life-cycle maintenance efficiencies —all delivered at

significant cost savings.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

25 Marston Street Parking Structure and Pedestrian Bridge Lawrence, Massachusetts n 2008 and 2011

A Design/Build Garage Delivered for Less Than

Half the Cost of the Original Design Approach

The redevelopment of 25 Marston Street included

the construction of new a parking structure

adjacent to a completely restored, 100-year-old

mill building located on the Merrimack River.

In close proximity to Lawrence General Hospital,

the newly renovated building now provides 27,500

square feet of medical of fice space outfitted with

all amenities including energy ef ficient heating

and cooling systems. The overall development

created greatly increased parking demand by

patients, employees and visitors.

Faced initially with an expensive and inefficient

parking solution, the Owners reached out to find

an alternative. With a focus on economy and

simplicity, Simon Design presented a precast

concrete and steel solution that took advantage

of the sloping site in order to eliminate internal

ramping in the three-stor y facility.

Additionally, a cantilever bridge provides a direct

connection between the street and the top level.

The middle structured level is accessed by an

on-grade ramp and the lowest level is on-grade

with sufficient clearance to allow turn-around of

emergency vehicles.

Recently, Simon Design added a two-level

pedestrian bridge to the 25 Marston Street

project. This enhancement provided an accessible

connection between the medical of fice spaces and

upper levels of the garage for the convenience and

safety of staf f and patrons.

TESTIMONIALS


“We find SDE to be a perfect partner for Walsh Brothers due to so many shared values: unwavering

commitment to client satisfaction, direct involvement of principals, and a can-do, team oriented

problem solving approach. Regardless of the project size or complexity, SDE was always available

at a moment’s notice to work through any challenge with our staff and subcontractors. All of their

engineers we have worked with are enthusiastic about their work, and display a true sense of

partnership with the construction side. We look forward to many future assignments collaborating

with Simon Design Engineering.”

Richard Walsh, President

“Simon Design Engineering (SDE) has been, and continues to be, our “go to” structural engineer for

Dana-Farber construction projects. Alan Simon & his team have guided us through what have proven

to be extremely difficult structural design challenges. Our most recent major project, the Yawkey

Center for Cancer Care, features seven stories of under-ground parking with fourteen floors of clinical

space above, all nestled adjacent to the MATEP power plant providing utility services to the medical

and academic institutions in the Longwood Medical Area and our Smith Research Facility. Not only

did SDE successfully complete the structural design, The American Council of Engineer Companies

of Massachusetts presented the 2011 silver award honoring outstanding professional design

excellence to Simon Design for the Yawkey project. We are grateful for the level of professionalism,

experience, and structural guidance that SDE brings to every project at DFCI.”

Wendy Gettleman, Sr. Director Planning, Design & Construction, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

“Simon Design provides creative solutions to complicated problems always with an eye on

the budget.”

Max Jordan, Fluor Corporation

“Three words come to mind when I think of Alan Simon; conscientious, concise, and most of all,

creative. Whether the project is a kitchen addition, a parking garage, or an $80 Million state-of-the-art

cancer research facility, I can always count on Alan to do a first-rate job and consistently exceed

my expectations.”
