JAMA is proud to announce that our very own Michael Weyant is now a licensed Professional Engineer (PE)! Earning a PE license is no small feat—it requires years of hands-on experience, a deep understanding of engineering principles, and passing the rigorous PE exam. Michael’s achievement is a testament to his dedication, expertise, and commitment to excellence in structural engineering. Throughout his time at JAMA, he has contributed to innovative designs and tackled structural challenges for a wide variety of project sectors and complex architectural forms, from the Compton College Student Housing Project to the Harbor-UCLA Switchgear Building to the VA West LA Central Utility Plant. We are inspired by his hard work and fortunate to have him on our team—join us in congratulating Michael on this major career milestone! #ProfessionalEngineer #PELicensed #StructuralEngineering #EngineeringExcellence #JAMA

Nestled in the scenic hills of Carpinteria, Cate School, a prestigious university-preparatory institution founded in 1910, recently underwent an exciting transformation!   The seismic upgrade and expansion of Raymond Commons project blended historic preservation with modern innovation. An existing 13,600-square-foot single-story concrete building from the 1920s was repurposed and strengthened with new concrete shear walls, roof elements, and foundations, ensuring its resilience for generations to come.   Complementing this restoration was a brand-new two-story expansion, featuring reinforced concrete shear walls, composite decking, and spread footings, creating a dynamic and structurally sound space. The former cafeteria was also converted into a state-of-the-art library and learning center.   This 16,000 square-foot project reflected Cate School’s commitment to preserving its rich history while embracing the future—ensuring a safe, inspiring environment for students to learn and grow.    Architect: Blackbird Architects  General Contractor: Hartigan/Foley General Building Contractors, INC.

Today, we’re celebrating the power of pi (π or 3.14159…), the mathematical constant that helps us design and build with precision! This humble number is the key to all of our structural designs for curved facades and circular structures. It brings amazing structural soundness - not to mention aesthetic beauty! Swipe through to see some of our favorite circular designs, where math, creativity, and structural integrity come together: Crypto.com Arena (Staples Center) (📸 Hunter Kerhart) UCLA Hammer Museum Pedestrian Bridge (📸 Iwan Baan) LAX Tom Bradley International Terminal West Expansion (📸 Lawrence Anderson) St Charles Borromeo for the Good Shepherd Parish (📸 Scott Hislop) Here’s to the power of pi in shaping our built environment! #PiDay #StructuralEngineering #BuiltWithPi #EngineeringExcellence

JAMA was thrilled to join with our fellow industry leaders at yesterday’s 2025 SEAOSC Leadership Symposium! The event brought together participants from a wide range of organizations and committees, including SEAOSC, SEAONC, SEAONC SE3, AIA, WiSE, WWT, and Lean In. Through dynamic presentations and panel discussions, the symposium empowered women in structural engineering to explore key topics such as leadership for women and underrepresented groups, strategic networking, professional growth, fostering a safe and respectful workplace, and enhancing employee engagement and retention. A huge thank you to SEAOSC (Structural Engineers Association of Southern California), the Women in Structural Engineering Committee (WiSE), and everyone who made this event possible! Your dedication to advocating for women in Structural Engineering and beyond is truly inspiring. #EngineeringExcellence #WomenInEngineering #SEAOSC # #WiSE #LeadershipSymposium

Looking forward to learning from DSA-experts and our very own Shane Fitzgerald sharing his expertise!
