MC is proud to have served as structural engineer of record working alongside Penza Bailey Architects, EBA Engineering, Inc. and Johnson Consulting Engineers, Inc. to design Roberta’s House, a Grief Support Center in downtown Baltimore. Whiting-Turner is putting the finishing touches on the building as it is set to open to the public in February 2021. Structurally, the building consists of slab on grade with a large depressed assembly area, plus 2 floors and a roof, all framed with structural steel beams & columns and composite Hambro joists. This grief center will provide a much needed service to the Baltimore community as a safe space to receive support and companionship while dealing with difficult personal situations.
