Yesterday, the groundbreaking ceremony for the new St. Joseph Catholic Church took place in Fayetteville. The new church will be constructed in the lot adjacent to the current church and school facilities. It will be much better equipped to meet the needs of the St. Joseph community for years to come.

Science Magazine recently featured the progressive design of the Anthony Timberlands Center for Design and Materials Innovation.

As the Structural Engineer of Record for this collaboration between Modus Studio and Grafton Architects, we are proud to see the project continue to be recognized as a leading example of mass timber design.
