We are proud to announce that Partner Tiffany Beamer has been named one of Building Design + Construction Magazine's 40 Under 40 class of 2018. She was selected from more than 230 applicants to the annual competition of architecture, engineering, and construction industry professionals from around the world who are under 40 years of age and have demonstrated great success in and service to their professions.
Tiffany describes her practice as "as an act of service," and asserts: "Design is successful when spaces are both functional and understandable but also provide something intangible and emotional. My dedication to people, to beauty, and to landscape has empowered me to manifest meaningful success in my education, my career, my professional affiliations, and my life outside of landscape design.”
The 40 Under 40 list is featured in the September 2018 issue of Building Design + Construction and will be honored at the magazine’s annual AEC Emerging Leaders Meetup at the Greenbuild Conference in Chicago.

Mill River Park Named one of APA's Great Places in America
Mill River Park in Stamford, Connecticut has been named one of five Great Public Spaces in America by the American Planning Association for 2018. APA’s annual Great Places in America list recognizes the neighborhoods, streets, and public spaces that make communities stronger and bring people together through good planning. OLIN developed the master plan for Mill River Park and Greenway more than a decade ago and has been at work to realize the project ever since, transforming what was once a degraded, forgotten waterway into a vibrant pubic park in the heart of Stamford’s downtown.
