MillerClapperton has been named a Top Workplace by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) for the sixth consecutive year. The rankings are based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administrator who measured 15 drivers of engaged cultures that are critical to the success of any organization. According to the AJC, more than 3,200 companies were nominated in this year’s competition, and of those nominated, 244 businesses representing 56,000 workers in the Atlanta region participated in the survey. A total of 175 finalists were recognized with MillerClapperton ranked 55 out of 70 in the midsize business category.

This week, we celebrated the first day of Spring – an occasion worthy of at least a smile. The weather is changing and so are our plans as vaccinations begin rolling out with more frequency. “It seems a natural time to cautiously ease back into “normal” public life or something more closely resembling it.” While many museums have reopened their indoor galleries, some patrons would prefer to “limit their art-related experiences to the outdoors for the time being.” The longer days and nice weather give us the opportunity to spend more time outside including outdoor art installations, sculpture gardens, museum grounds, and more.

Recommendation: The Structure of Skyscrapers in America 1871-1900
Written By: Donald Friedman

Donald Friedman is a Manhattan-based engineer and a specialist in the structural quirks of historic buildings. Friedman has an unrivaled intimacy with the guts of historic buildings and his experiences led to a new book, The Structure of Skyscrapers in America 1871-1900: Their History and Preservation. The book offers “an extensive journey through 19th-century building technology, much of it obscure and forgotten. The first half of the book explores the forces that led to the construction of the earliest skyscrapers and in the second half, 200-pages document at least 443 early examples of the form.
