e2 engineers

Today is ! To celebrate, we wanted to share some strategies for sustainable structural design.

At e2, we've made use of strategies like these to reduce our own carbon footprint and try to make the world a better place! Some of our notable sustainable projects are the New Canaan Library and the Whittingham Discovery Center.

Meet Teresa Rodrigues and Jonathan Viliott, our 2026 Summer Interns!

Teresa and Jonathan are both rising seniors at UMass Amherst, and are pursuing degrees in Civil Engineering. Teresa was drawn to structural engineering because of her passion for history and preserving historic buildings, while Jonathan was drawn to structural because of his hands on nature and satisfaction with seeing different parts come together. Outside of engineering, the two have a plethora of hobbies! Teresa enjoys gardening, hiking, traveling, and reading, and Jonathan enjoys lifting, rock climbing, hiking, golf, and skiing.

This will be Teresa's second summer with e2, and Jonathan's first. We are thrilled to have both of them on the e2 team this summer!

Such a beautiful evening for some baseball! The Connecticut Westchester Young Leaders Hartford Yard Goats Outing on Wednesday was an awesome event! Tori, Julia, and Ryan had a great time getting outside and meeting with industry peers.

We are looking forward to a summer full of connecting and great weather!

Project Highlight: Lawrence + Memorial Hospital - Nuclear Medicine Suite Renovations

This project relocated and completely renovated the hospital's Nuclear Medicine Suite, allowing for significant imaging upgrades.

The suite put the creative limits of our team to the test. Removing bearing walls and replacing them with steel columns and beams in a suite that is underground, beneath an operational Emergency Department ambulance entrance, posed to be an incredibly difficult challenge. However, after close collaboration with , , , and , we were able to successfully pull it off.

We are grateful to have been part of such an excellent, detail-oriented team and to be making an impact in healthcare design.

This Memorial Day Weekend, e2 engineers will be remembering and honoring all of those who have passed while serving our country. Their bravery will not be forgotten.

Our offices will be closed on Monday May 25th for Memorial Day.

Last week, e2 had the opportunity to join Blakeslee Prestress Inc and for a tour of the Blakeslee Precast Prestressed Concrete Plant. We learned more about how they make precast concrete and the different uses of it, as well as the PCI certification process. Walking through the plant demonstrated the impressive scale and precision of their production.

The tour was such a great professional development opportunity for our engineers. Thank you to for inviting us to join you!

Summer is around the corner, so we wanted to share that e2 engineers will be working summer hours from Memorial Day until Labor Day. Our offices will close at Noon on every Friday during this time.

Project Highlight: Whittingham Discovery Center

This project recently received an Honor Award in the 2026 Green Building Impact Awards program for its sustainable design. The 10,000 SF LEED Platinum Certified, multi-functional, municipal center is a biophilic building emphasizing the connection between humans and nature and utilizing green technology such as photovoltaic systems.

Architect: Centerbrook Architects & Planners
Contractor: Montagno Construction

At e2, collaboration and mentorship are an integral part of our business model. Last week, Senior Engineer Tim Manchester, had a hands on learning day with two of our project engineers, Gabriella Ross and Ryan Bakken. They went to the LEARN Academy worksite in Waterford, CT, to highlight inspection details and share field-visit tips and tricks.
