The conversations around SCIF and data infrastructure shaping our industry are only getting more critical! On May 13, Gregory Brenner (Managing Director, Technical Advisory) and C. Bartlett Stewart, PE (Managing Director, Washington, DC) spoke at the Fort Detrick Alliance event, joining the panel ‘Renovations, Relocations, & Modular Considerations: How to Choose the Best Path for Your SCIF.’ They shared insights on how evolving requirements, speed-to-deployment, and risk mitigation are driving increased adoption of modular SCIF solutions - along with key considerations for choosing the right path forward. Earlier in the month, at Green Building Initiative (GBI)’s third annual Better Buildings: Data Centers Seminar on May 6, Jimmy Sneed PE, DCEP, ATD (Managing Director, Critical Facilities) joined the panel ‘Future-Ready Data Centers: Energy Strategies for Demand, Resilience, and Sustainability.’ He was joined at the event by Desmond Greene (Managing Director) and Rhonda Jensen (Senior Business Development Manager), where the team connected with industry leaders navigating rapid growth and the need for more efficient, resilient infrastructure. Thank you to Fort Detrick Alliance and Green Building Initiative (GBI), and everyone who took the time to connect with us! #WBEngineers #ImprovingTheWayThingsAreDone #CriticalFacilities #SCIF

Designing for Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT) spaces is about aligning the facility with the manufacturing process from the beginning. In these high-stakes environments, where a single batch can exceed $1M, early design decisions directly impact cost, efficiency, and long-term flexibility. In our blog, “Three Lessons from Designing Cell & Gene Therapy Manufacturing Spaces,” Raymond Doyle, PE, LEED AP (Managing Director, Science & Technology) shares key insights from our experience designing CGT manufacturing spaces across the country. From why process should drive design, not cleanroom grade, to how air strategy becomes a major cost factor, and why smart compliance can reduce operational expenses, we break down what teams need to know before they start designing.

One of the most important decisions in designing a manufacturing space, especially in a Science & Technology environment, is how much to expose the product during production. The choice between an open or closed process directly influences cleanroom classification, airflow strategy, operating costs, and long-term flexibility. In our blog, ‘Open vs. Closed Processes: Choosing the Right Approach for Manufacturing Facilities,’ Raymond Doyle, PE, LEED AP (Managing Director, Science & Technology) discusses the difference between open and closed processes, how they affect facility design, and when each is appropriate.

It was great to have our team - Gregory Brenner (Managing Director, Technical Advisory), Asya Hackett (Senior Associate), Sarah MacLean, LEED AP (Associate Principal), and Christopher Carmona (Business Development Manager) - back in Las Vegas for the EV Charging Summit & Expo! A highlight of the week was the panel, “Speed Up and Streamline Installations: Strategies for Shortening Deployment Times,” where Gregory Brenner and Sarah MacLean joined industry peers to share insights on accelerating EV charging deployments. This year was all about connection, collaboration, and continuing to strengthen our presence in a rapidly evolving industry. From panel discussions to networking events, we had the opportunity to engage with developers, equipment providers, software vendors, valued industry partners, and other key players shaping the future of EV infrastructure. We also leaned into more intentional networking this year - hosting our event, “Roll the Dice” on March 18 - which opened the door to new conversations and meaningful relationships that will carry forward well beyond the conference. Thank you to EV Charging Summit & Expo, and to everyone who took the time to connect with us! If you attended, we’d love to hear about your experience and explore collaboration opportunities.
