We’re excited to welcome two new faces to the Morabito Consultants team!
Please join us in welcoming David Kraus and Sage Cooper.

David returns to MC after completing two internships with us and is now joining the team full-time as a Project Engineer. We’re excited to have him back and look forward to watching his career continue to grow with us.
Sage joins our administrative team and will be helping support the day-to-day operations that keep our projects, staff, and office running smoothly.
We’re thrilled to have them on board and can’t wait to see the impact they’ll make as they begin working with our team and clients.

Morabito Consultants was pleased to host two interns this year, providing valuable exposure to the structural engineering profession and hands-on learning opportunities.

Lauren joined our team from St. John Properties during the month of June, gaining insight into the day-to-day operations of a structural engineering consulting firm. Anthony, a University of Maryland student, is spending the summer with Morabito Consultants, working alongside our engineers to further develop his technical knowledge and professional skills.

As Lauren concludes her internship with us, we extend our sincere thanks for her hard work and enthusiasm and wish her continued success as she begins her next internship experience this summer. We are grateful for the contributions she made during her time at Morabito Consultants.

Anthony will continue with our team throughout the remainder of the summer, and we look forward to supporting his continued growth and professional development in the months ahead.

We are proud to support aspiring professionals as they explore careers in engineering and gain valuable real-world experience that will help shape their futures.

Morabito Consultants, Inc. (MC) is pleased to share ongoing progress at the Venice at Deering Bay Condominium I plaza and garage restoration project in Coral Gables, Florida. Serving as the Structural Engineer of Record, waterproofing consultant, and threshold inspector, our team is collaborating closely with Concrete Protection & Restoration (CP&R) and owner’s representative Socotec to deliver this complex structural and waterproofing restoration.

Advancing Structural Repairs & Waterproofing

Over the past several month, this project has reached several key milestones as restoration efforts continue across the plaza and garage deck system.

  • Concrete placements across planter walls and perimeter elements
  • Bonded topping slabs installed throughout plaza areas
  • Courtyard slab reconstruction progressing
  • Post-tension tendon restressing to restore structural performance

 

Enhancing Durability through Waterproofing Systems

Waterproofing remains a critical component of the restoration. Installation efforts are progressing steadily, including:

  • Sikalastic RoofPRO systems for plaza waterproofing
  • DSM joint systems to enhance long-term joint performance
  • Upgraded drainage systems to improve water management

These improvements are designed to mitigate water intrusion, extend service life, and protect underlying structural components.

 

Site Transformation in Progress

The following images highlight the transformation underway—from early construction and active restoration to near-completion conditions.

Supporting Long-Term Performance & Compliance

In addition to structural and waterproofing enhancements, drainage improvements and planter upgrades are well underway—critical components for maintaining long-term durability.

With repairs progressing successfully, the project remains on track for completion in July 2026. The fully restored garage and plaza deck system will:

    • Enhance structural performance and longevity
    • Provide robust waterproofing protection
    • Improve overall aesthetics for residents and guests
    • Support compliance with upcoming milestone inspection requirements

This project reflects MC’s continued commitment to delivering high-quality restoration solutions across South Florida’s aging building infrastructure.

This year’s conference theme, “Grow Yourself to Grow Others,” perfectly aligns with our mission as structural engineers. We believe that investing in the continuous growth, safety, and modernization of our educational facilities is one of the most impactful ways to support Maryland’s students, educators, and communities.

Meet Our Leadership Team

If you are attending the conference, our executive leadership will be on-site and would love to connect with you:

 

Whether you have an upcoming school facility project, want to discuss structural safety and sustainability, or just want to talk shop, Nick and Josh are ready to share how MC can support your district’s vision.

Visit Us at Booth 313!

Make sure to stop by the exhibition hall and visit us at Booth 313 to meet the team, learn more about our structural engineering services for K-12 schools, and grab some great Morabito Consultants swag.

We look forward to a fantastic week of networking, learning, and collaboration in Ocean City!
Morabito Consultants had a great time participating in the 37th Annual GBMC Golf Classic, held on May 4, 2026, at Turf Valley Golf Club. Each year, this event, hosted by GBMC HealthCare, brings together community partners for a day on the course in support of continuing medical and clinical education.

In addition, the Golf Classic provided an opportunity to connect with fellow supporters while giving back to a meaningful cause. We appreciated being part of such a well-organized event and congratulate GBMC HealthCare and the organizers on another successful year. We are already looking forward to participating again next year.

Morabito Consultants recently completed a site visit to observe ongoing construction progress at the Odyssey School located in Timonium, MD. Overall, the project continues to move forward with several key structural elements now in place.

Structural Steel and Framing Progress

Structural steel framing and cold-formed metal trusses in place during construction.

During the visit, several components of the structural scope were observed to be substantially complete, including structural steel erection, cold‑formed metal framing (CFMF) trusses, and slab‑on‑grade placement. As a result, these elements establish the primary structural framework for the expansion and represent a major construction milestone.

Roof Deck Installation Underway

Flat roof deck installation supported by structural steel framing.

In addition, the flat roof deck has been installed over portions of the structure, providing a critical base for future roofing and enclosure work. Hall trusses and purlins are also in place and supporting continued progress throughout the building footprint.

Timber Framing Elements and Continued Coordination

Timber roof framing installed over structural steel supports.

Additionalframing work, including exterior wall framing is now underway.

We appreciate the continued collaboration among the project team and look forward to sharing future updates as the Odyssey School Expansion progresses toward completion.

We were honored to be invited by FirstService Residential to attend their Annual Property Managers Meeting and Awards Ceremony, held at the Hyatt Place Kent Narrows & Marina.

The event brought together property managers along with a select group of contractors and consultants, creating an environment focused on collaboration, connection, and shared goals. From engaging team‑building games to meaningful conversations over lunch, the day was a great reminder of how strong partnerships support successful communities.

We truly appreciate FirstService Residential including us in this event and recognizing the importance of collaboration beyond the day‑to‑day work. Experiences like this strengthen relationships and reinforce the value of working together.

We’re proud to see one of our projects recognized in The Baltimore Sun.

 

The recently reopened Miriam A. Friedberg Concert Hall at the Peabody Institute was recently featured, highlighting the careful restoration of Baltimore’s oldest performance hall and its renewed role in the city’s cultural life.

 

This historic project brought together acoustical specialists, designers, and builders, all working within the constraints of a treasured 19th‑century structure. Preserving the hall’s architectural character while supporting modern performance needs required close collaboration across disciplines and a shared respect for the building’s legacy.
