expertise STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING Having an integrated Architectural/Structural Engineering Studio, our design thinkers can get and receive critical structural design input during all phases of a project, from architectural planning and preliminary design to final preparation of construction documents. Our engineers use state-of-the-art technologies to analyze, design and specify structures, while respecting schedules, collaborating across disciplines, and remaining sensitive to sustainability issues. Our project experience includes structural design, building renovation and rehabilitation, structural evaluations, historic renovations and peer reviews. Ensuring a smart structural design translates to an efficient and safe structure for its occupants. By creating an “early detailing package” during the design phase, we provide clients much tighter bids, reduced detailing time, faster shop drawing turnaround time and approvals, and reduction of structural system construction time and cost.

SEE MORE A dream job for this structural engineer When I was a kid, I knew that I was destined to be a structural engineer. I was the one kid on my block with the largest Lego set who enjoyed building structures out of them and determining best ways to construct them. In high school, during one of my physics classes, the teacher taught us that a truss is an assembly of beams that creates a strong rigid structure. - Robert Zygmunt SEE MORE CONTACT Douglas Graham PRINCIPAL / STRUCTURAL ENGINEER “In our Studio, the premise of good Structural Engineering is striving to achieve the highest level of design, a safe structure for its occupants, design accountability to all members of our team, and financial consideration of the final project, all while providing our Architects and Clients with exceptional service that is meant to exceed their expectations.” P 860 368.4183 E DGraham@slamcoll.com ATLANTA BOSTON DENVER GLASTONBURY IOWA CITY LOS ANGELES NEW YORK ORLANDO PHILADELPHIA PROVIDENCE get the freshest SLAM news portfolio Corporate Healthcare Higher Education K–12 Education Specialty expertise architecture civil engineering construction management design build interior design lab / sim planning landscape architecture pre-construction services programming & planning structural engineering careers open positions lifestyle/culture firm offices meet our team sustainable design community/philanthropy library contact bid room design thinkers blog back to top
