We’re celebrating great innovation with Missouri University of Science and Technology. Missouri S&T celebrated the opening of and officially dedicated its 50,000 SF Innovation Lab on April 11. The new Innovation Lab is designed to be a versatile and comfortable environment for current S&T students. It is a dynamic, iconic building that is both a highly functional place to foster academic excellence and serve as a source of pride and emotional connection for students.
Missouri S&T’s chancellor, Dr. Mohammad (Mo) Dehghani celebrated the lab’s dedication and outlined details about the exciting project in his office email message.
DMA provided civil engineering for the Innovation Lab project. Our scope of work included preparing site improvement plans for the new facility, pavements and site amenities, grading, utility, stormwater management, coordination with building utilities, and ADA design.
Innovation in our civil practice
Our team understands that innovation in engineering is vital to driving infrastructure development, progress, efficiency, and sustainability. At the intersection of creativity and technology, engineers are constantly expanding the boundaries of what’s possible, harnessing cutting-edge techniques and emerging technologies to solve complex challenges that shape our world.
What we find exciting is the integration of digital tools and data analytics into the design and construction process. Advanced technologies allow for more accurate and enhanced collaboration among project stakeholders. In addition to technology innovation, our civil engineers are pioneering sustainable solutions that minimize environmental impact and maximize resource efficiency. From green building practices and renewable energy systems to innovative stormwater management techniques, sustainable design principles are shifting and leaning into more resilient and eco-friendly infrastructure answers.
Innovation is not just a buzzword in engineering nor is it cliché at DMA. Rather, it is a fundamental principle that drives progress and propels the industry forward. By embracing new technologies, adopting sustainable practices, and fostering a culture of creativity and collaboration, our engineers are shaping a brighter, more resilient future.
DMA is embracing innovative thinking as we engineer projects that continue to support educational campuses and highlight how we are energized by the challenge and inspired by our people!
