[SEFW @sefwashington]

Tonight is the night! Join us in-person @benaroyahall for the SEFW Fall Forum, or watch online at Vimeo at https://t.co/mnBOwNDhjj. Learn about "Spaces that Inspire: The Architecture and Engineering of Gathering" ! @LMNArchitects @MKA_Inc @SeaConvCenter

[SEFW @sefwashington]

Breaking news! @AIASeattle named its 2023 Honor Awards, and the Summit at @SeaConvCenter earned honorable mention! Congrats to @LMNArchitects & the team! Learn more about this award-winning project at the SEFW Fall Forum tomorrow @benaroyahall with Mark Reddington from LMN!

[SEFW @sefwashington]

Did you know the Summit project included 380,000 cubic yards of excavation, the equivalent of 180 miles of bumper-to-bumper dump trucks – the same distance from Seattle to Portland? Wow! Learn more at the Fall Forum - in person or streaming live! https://t.co/0fnUnamGve

AI and robotics may be sexier career paths, but civil engineering job opportunities abound. Just ask the UW grad who had four offers early in her senior year. https://t.co/A3a8kmiac5

SEFW is pleased to announce details for the 13th Fall Forum on November 16 at @benaroyahall. Save the date and please join us for "Spaces that Inspire: The Architecture and Engineering of Gathering." @LMNArchitects @MKA_Inc

We are ON for the SEFW Fall Forum ! Weather conditions are expected to improve, and we will be ready for you tonight at @THSEA either in-person or virtually! Come hear from @ArchUW @CarbonLeadForum @pcsstructural @LMNArchitects and more! https://t.co/0fnUnamGve

[SEFW @sefwashington]

Did you know that unlike carbon emissions, which can be reduced over time during a building's life cycle, embodied carbon are locked in place as soon as a building is built? Learn more about embodied carbon at the SEFW Forum on WEDNESDAY! @THSEA

[SEFW @sefwashington]

Do you know that in addition to construction materials, you can find #EnvironmentalProductDeclarations for pasta sauce, fleece jackets, toilet paper, and even a passenger jet? Check out the EPD library - and then learn more at the 11/30 SEFW Forum!

[SEFW @sefwashington]

Did you know cement production is the largest contributor to embodied carbon in the built environment? However, structural engineers can reduce the carbon footprint of concrete by 14–33%, per a 2021 report. LEARN MORE at the Forum on 11/30! Register at https://t.co/2eFZB4COR3 !

[SEFW @sefwashington]

Register for the 2022 Fall Forum!! With speakers & panelists from @ArchUW @Microsoft @LMNArchitects @pcsstructural and more! In-person and streaming on Nov. 30 @THSEA - and it's FREE!

[SEFW @sefwashington]

Next week is Washington's day of giving, #GiveBIG! Support SEFW today and support advancing the profession of structural engineering through scholarships, education, research, and outreach! https://t.co/eEpk0Z1z2I

[SEFW @sefwashington]

Did you know there are 37 miles(!) of prestressing strand in the @ClimateArena ? If you stretched it all out, you'd reach from the arena to the @MuseumofGlass in Tacoma. Come meet the firms & engineers behind the reinvention of this incredible project at the Fall Forum TONIGHT!

[SEFW @sefwashington]

Did you know the iconic Climate Pledge Arena roof (maintained, lifted & suspended while the massive renovation took place below) weighs 44 million pounds?! That’s the same as 109 Boeing 747-800s. Come hear about it from the structural engineers at the Forum! @ttinc @ClimateArena

[SEFW @sefwashington]

Did you know @WSUPullman Martin Stadium has undergone FIVE(!) expansion and renovation projects since opening in 1972 – in 1975, 1979, 1999, 2006, and 2012? Current seating capacity is 50% more than the original stadium. Learn more at the Forum on 11/17! https://t.co/0fnUna4xh6

[Thornton Tomasetti @ttinc]

Turning Seattle's Key Arena into @ClimateArena while keeping the historic roof & façade intact was no small feat. At the @SEFWashington’s Fall Forum on Nov. 17, @ttinc’s Steve Hofmeister will talk about the challenges of creating the new 800,000-sf venue. https://t.co/A0AlRRCvWw
