Historic buildings come with a story, and this one was no exception. 👏   Congratulations to our #StratusTeam members with Kilian on helping breathe new life into this Winston-Salem landmark.   Thank you to Joshua Patinkin, Max Patinkin, and Dash Davidson of High Tide Capital LLC, along with John Lenham and Alex Hale of Windsor Commercial, for their trust and collaboration throughout the project.   As construction begins on this exciting redevelopment, we're proud to be part of a team helping transform a historic landmark for its next chapter. Projects like this are made possible through strong partnerships, and we're looking forward to seeing the vision continue to take shape. #BetterPlansBetterPlaces #HistoricPreservation #EngineeringExcellence

From hands-on project work to professional growth, every day brings new opportunities to learn, contribute, and make an impact. So happy to have you on the team, Candice! #BetterPlansBetterPlaces

From the classroom to real-world project experience, Marlen Perez is turning her passion for engineering into hands-on impact. As a Site Development Intern in our Houston, Texas office, Marlen has spent the past six months working alongside our multidisciplinary teams and gaining experience across land development and fuel systems. A B.S. in Civil Engineering student at the University of Texas at Tyler, she’s had the opportunity to see how engineering ideas move from drawings and design coordination to active project work in the field. Through projects involving fuel storage tanks, piping systems, and site development, Marlen is building technical skills, expanding her understanding of the AEC industry, and gaining the kind of experience that helps shape a strong future in civil engineering. We’re proud to have Marlen on the #StratusTeam this summer and can’t wait to see the impact she’ll continue to make. #BetterPlansBetterPlaces #LifeAtStratus #InternSpotlight #CivilEngineering

This summer, we’re excited to spotlight Jonathan Taylor, a Mechanical Engineering Intern at Stratus. A Mechanical Engineering student at North Carolina State University, Jonathan is gaining hands-on experience alongside our multidisciplinary teams and broadening his understanding of the field through real-world project exposure. From site visits to seeing how construction plans come together in the field, he’s building a deeper appreciation for how architects, engineers, and other professionals collaborate to deliver successful projects. We’re proud to have Jonathan as part of the #StratusTeam this summer and excited to support his growth as he continues building his future in mechanical engineering! #BetterPlansBetterPlaces #LifeAtStratus #FutureEngineers #AEC #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment

What starts as curiosity can grow into a career path. For Christian Castaneda, that curiosity began with building worlds in LEGOs and Minecraft—and eventually became a passion for architecture. This summer, Christian is bringing that same creative mindset to Stratus as an Architecture Intern in our Miami office, while continuing his studies toward a Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Miami. Through project coordination, site visits, construction documents, design plans, and bi-weekly project meetings, Christian is seeing firsthand how ideas move from drawings into the built environment. These experiences are helping connect what he is learning in school to the collaboration, problem-solving, and coordination that shape real projects. We’re proud to have Christian on the Stratus team this summer and excited to be part of his journey as he continues building his future in architecture. #StratusTeam #BetterPlansBetterPlaces #LifeAtStratus #InternSpotlight #Architecture #FutureArchitects #AEC #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #UniversityofMiami #Mentorship

This summer, we’re excited to spotlight Amanda Martell, an Architecture Intern in our Miami office. A Bachelor of Architecture student at Tulane University, Amanda is gaining hands-on experience alongside our multidisciplinary teams while continuing to build on an already impressive foundation. Her team design-build project, Growing Local Pavilion, developed through Tulane University’s School of Architecture and Built Environment, earned First Prize in the 2026 Rethinking The Future Awards a reflection of the creativity, collaboration, and community-focused thinking she brings to her work. We’re proud to have Amanda as part of the Stratus team this summer and excited to support her growth as she continues building her future in architecture. #StratusTeam #BetterPlansBetterPlaces #LifeAtStratus #InternSpotlight #Architecture #FutureArchitects #AEC #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #TulaneUniversity #Mentorship

From barrier to gateway. Featured in Roads & Bridges, the award-winning Global Gateway Connector Bridge & Trail is earning national attention as a model of purposeful infrastructure, with Stratus Principal Civil Engineer Kalyn Keeney sharing how projects like this can transform the way communities connect, move, and grow. Delivered in partnership with STV and the City of College Park Georgia, the project creates a safe, accessible connection between downtown College Park, MARTA, the ATL SkyTrain, the Georgia International Convention Center, and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. It is more than a bridge. It is a gateway to one of the nation's busiest transportation hubs.
