GNCB Engineer Amy Jagaczewski was invited to present at Northeastern University’s Student Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (NUASCE) this March. NUASCE hosts a variety of civil and environmental engineering professionals throughout the year as a way to increase their students’ exposure to current civil engineering projects and to help them cultivate a better understanding of what it means to be a civil engineer. The student organization has been recognized nine times by ASCE as the most Outstanding ASCE Chapter in the nation – a tribute to their efforts to bring in industry professionals and to their success in engineering competitions such as Concrete Canoe and Steel Bridge.

Ms. Jagaczewski graduated from Northeastern in 2012 with her B.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering. She was honored to be invited back to present to NUASCE on the topic of preservation engineering for the third time. Using the recently completed restoration of the Darien Congregational Church as a framework, Ms. Jagaczewski discussed New England Congregational Churches and the investigation, analysis, and repair of traditional timber framing.

After over 50 rewarding years of geotechnical engineering practice, the last 28 of which were with GNCB as an Associate, David Freed retired on December 31, 2023. In 1995, David established the geotechnical engineering practice that provided many of GNCB’s clients, as well as his core clients, an integrated engineering service in foundation design. David’s presence both enhanced the structural engineering staff with a greater understanding of geotechnical theory and practice as well as provided the firm’s clients with a fortuitous combination of structural and geotechnical engineering services that lasted throughout the project. David’s experiences at GNCB provided the basis for his paper “Benefits of In-House Collaboration of Geotechnical and Structural Engineering Services” that appeared in the 2008 Geotechnical Special Publication No. 180 that honored his University of Florida professor, Dr. John Schmertmann. David’s geotechnical work crossed a wide range of projects and foundation types; he developed an expertise in resolving construction problems. He will be greatly missed at the firm, but please join us in wishing David all the best in his retirement.
