IN THIS WEEK’S FRIDAY5

The past few months have been a series of starts and stops for many companies as projects across the country were paused due to COVID-19. The months that lie ahead may also have their own set of unique challenges as policies change rapidly, and states and cities reopen at varying intervals. Although it is a time of uncertainty for many, there are more resources coming online to support the construction industry. Pages like that from Construction Connect offer delayed project reports, construction activity reports, webinars, and economic updates. The Metal Construction Association also has a new page with dedicated resources, such as a COVID-19 policy tracker by county/city and maps tracking reopenings throughout the country. We hope that these resources prove useful as you navigate what is optimistically a temporary “new normal”.

An expansion is currently underway at the Tift Regional Medical Center in Tifton. The multi-million dollar expansion includes a new, 263,000-square-foot, four-story tower. The first level will be a new emergency room, with the second, third, and fourth levels of the new tower dedicated to inpatient services, including a new location for the hospital’s intensive care unit. MillerClapperton is fabricating and installing 46,600 square feet of Metal Composite Material for the project.

From coast to coast, there are well-preserved homes belonging to important historical figures, that highlight the architectural achievements of their day, and reflect the lifestyles and traditions of the period in which they were built. America’s historic homes offer a unique glimpse into the past, while they showcase art, artifacts, and gardens that are as impressive as the homes they accompany. Whether you’re a fan of the founding fathers or a literature buff, there are plenty of pedigreed properties to visit across the United States.

Over the next several months, ArchDaily is publishing articles on the history of architecture and how it evolved to set the fundamentals of architecture we know today. This week, they focused on one of the most prominent and influential periods, the Greek, classical, and Hellenistic periods. “The Greeks communicated spaces and shapes through an emphasis on proportionality, and by that, the style of Greek buildings was extensively based on dimensions, scale, and their relationship to one another.” Click below for more.
