DCI Engineers' project, the "M" was featured in the Spokane Coeur d'Alene Living magazine in an article written by Rose Bechtold, Communications Specialist. The M, formerly a Macy’s department store, is now a readapted 370,000-sf mixed-use building. The single structure comprises of retail levels on the first two floors, and a combination of commercial and residential levels for the above-grade floors. One building section is 11-stories (former Macy’s building), while another section (Wraight building) is eight-stories.
We sat down with our October DCI Expert in the Spotlight, Richard “Dick” Hemmen for a Q&A session about Seismic Renovations and Tenant Improvements. Hemmen, who has worked on many seismic renovations and TI’s, shares with us the importance of maintaining a buildings structural components for the occurrence of a seismic event.
During this time, DCI Engineers is shifting face-to-face priorities to virtual platforms via online meetings, email and phone, taking advantage of telecommuting opportunities for staff where appropriate. In many of our regions, our DCI offices are temporarily closed, however we are working from our homes and available by email or phone. Should you need contact information for one of our offices, please find our office numbers listed under our Locations page.
We understand this time creates challenges for individuals and communities, but we know that by working together, we can make it through and come out stronger.
