  • Educational visioning is where we start with people, not buildings.    Students, educators, administrators, and community members come together to share ideas, identify priorities, and define guiding principles for the future of learning.    Those conversations become the foundation for programming and design.  Watch the video to see how the process unfolds and what it’s like to be part of it. 

  • Proud to partner with Shook Construction and Bay Village City School District on this milestone. We’re looking forward to seeing these improvements take shape and support the district’s next chapter!

  • On Tuesday, May 5, GPD had the pleasure of hosting Rate My Bridge Design: Columbus, a MIDAS‑sponsored, half‑day seminar for Ohio’s bridge engineering community. The event brought together ODOT representatives, experienced practitioners, and engineering firms for open discussion around bridge analysis, load rating, and structural deliverables using Midas Civil NX, with a focus on aligning software capability with real‑world agency practice.   We appreciated the opportunity for our own Ruby NG, P.E. and Ng Davin to join presenters from ODOT and GFT, sharing how MIDAS has been used on some of GPD’s more complex bridge projects.   Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day a productive exchange of knowledge and experience.
