Michael Baker International’s Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, office recently hosted nearly 40 young visitors as part of a “Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day” event. The event offered an opportunity for children ages 8 to 13 to visit a Michael Baker office, learn about the work of our Wolf Pack and discover how We Make a Difference in the communities we serve. Throughout the day, the kids learned about different careers through presentations on topics including federal architecture/sustainability, interior design, land development, federal planning and structures. The kids also enjoyed interactive, hands-on activities. They used boxes to create sustainable buildings, practiced reading drawings with legends, decorated storyboards with interior design ideas, drew maps of the office courtyard, planned their own communities, and built structures out of spaghetti and gum drops. #FutureEngineers #WolfPackPride #STEMeducation

Several Michael Baker International colleagues were recently invited by Mississippi Transportation Commission Chairman Willie Simmons to attend a roundtable discussion hosted by Congressman Bennie Thompson (D-MS). Michael Baker was invited to participate in the discussion because of our firm’s longstanding relationship with Commissioner Simmons and our work in the state of Mississippi. Congressman Thompson invited U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg to be a special guest at the roundtable discussion, as part of his visit to Mississippi to tour Congressman Thompson's and Commissioner Simmons' districts and discuss project funding for the area. The roundtable event included discussions and questions centered around the need for more economic opportunities in Mississippi through increased funding for medical care and transportation infrastructure investment. #RoundtableDiscussion #Transportation #Infrastructure

The SR 28 Highland Park Interchange Improvement Project was recently awarded the 2024 March of Dimes Transportation, Building and Construction Transportation Project of the Year. SR 28 is a vital thoroughfare that connects downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to its northeastern suburbs and beyond. The SR 28 Highland Park Interchange Improvement Project, led by PennDOT and involving multiple partners, addressed bottlenecks and frequent accidents caused by a two-lane section near the Highland Park Bridge. Key improvements included adding travel lanes, ramps, and pedestrian safety features. Despite challenges like narrow corridors, geotechnical issues, and the COVID-19 pandemic, the project was completed successfully in December 2023, enhancing traffic flow, safety and accessibility. #ProjectAwards #EngineeringExcellence

Colleagues from Michael Baker International’s Carlsbad and San Diego, California, offices recently volunteered with Feeding San Diego. Participants volunteered their time to pack 3,178 pounds of apples for Feeding San Diego’s School Pantry Program. The program offers a much-needed support system for low-income families. Because nearly 50% of K-12 students in San Diego County rely on free or reduced-price meals, the work of the School Pantry Program makes a significant difference in the lives of San Diegans facing hunger. #CommunityService #WolfPackPride #Volunteering
