Before Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, we want to recognize the importance of environments designed to support mental and behavioral healthcare.

Behavioral health facilities require a thoughtful approach to building systems that support patient comfort, safety, privacy, and care for both patients and staff. These environments are designed to support some of the most important work happening within our communities every day.

We’re proud to contribute to projects that help create supportive environments for care, healing, and wellbeing.

We had a great time at the first-ever NAIOP Central Ohio Pickleball Tournament last week! Eric Larson and Jarrod Gilliam represented Karpinski Engineering at the inaugural event, connecting with others across the local real estate and development community, both on and off the court.

It’s always valuable to spend time with others in the industry and stay connected to what’s happening across the Central Ohio market. Thanks to NAIOP Central Ohio for putting together a great event.

There is a critical need for blood donations, and we encourage employees, family members, friends, and community partners to consider donating. Our goal is 20 donors, and every donation truly makes a difference.

This year’s drive is also highlighting the importance of Power Red donations, a specialized donation process that allows eligible donors to safely give twice as many red blood cells as a traditional whole blood donation. Individuals with blood types O+, O-, A-, and B- are especially encouraged to consider this option.

All donors will receive:
• A $20 Amazon e-gift card
• An oversized Red Cross beach towel
