MICHAEL LORIMER TO LEAD ARUP’S GROWING NORTHEAST HEALTHCARE BUSINESS Arup , a global leader in the built environment, announced that Michael Lorimer joined the Boston office to lead the Northeast’s expanding healthcare business. Lorimer’s experience in research facilities and healthcare projects will grow Arup’s presence in healthcare in Massachusetts and the greater northeastern U.S. With more than 2,500 healthcare projects around the world, Arup has for decades been a trusted expert in planning world class healthcare facilities and implementing operations that promote healing, efficiency, and resiliency. “With his relocation to Boston, Michael personifies our goal to deliver global best practices in healthcare design locally,” says Bill Scrantom, Arup’s Americas Region Healthcare Leader. “He has particularly strong expertise in delivering large-scale, complex, and patient- centered healthcare projects. We feel his leadership will significantly benefit the Boston healthcare marketplace and our growing Boston office.” Prior to joining the Boston office, Lorimer spent 17 years in Arup’s London office serving
as associate principal. He led a number of healthcare and research projects in Europe including award-winning buildings such as London’s UCH Macmillan Cancer Centre and Sainsbury Wellcome Centre, as well as Bispebjerg Hospital and Dublin Children’s Hospital. Lorimer has led and worked within multidisciplinary design teams, encompassing many aspects of a project, from feasibility studies to detailed design and site work. “Boston is well known for being home to world-renowned hospitals, medical schools, and research institutions. Our clients will immediately benefit from Michael’s deep healthcare and research facility experience as well as the holistic, multidisciplinary design he brings to every project,” said Tim McCaul, Principal and Arup’s Boston Group Leader. Lorimer will build on the work Arup has done with Yale University’s Health Services Center, develop ongoing work with Partners Healthcare on resilience and Massachusetts General Hospital, and seek opportunities for future projects. Arup’s healthcare portfolio includes Kaiser Permanente San Diego Central Hospital, Calgary Cancer Centre in Canada and Loma Linda University Medical Center. “I am honored by the opportunity to help local institutions develop and deliver the highest- quality healthcare offerings by designing world-class facilities,” says Lorimer. “A key challenge is to help institutes make the best of their existing facilities, but we are confident that with our core engineering skills and specialist knowledge, we will enable clients to deliver the best environment for patients and staff. I am looking forward to joining our talented team in Boston and working in a city that is a world- leading healthcare hub.” Arup provides consulting, planning, engineering, and design services for the most prominent projects and sites in the built environment.
beyond these three areas. Learn about the built world outside of your area of expertise. You work in a fascinating and important field. You should feel privileged to tell people you’re an engineer. I do. KYLE CHEERANGIE is a project manager at HNTB Corporation, and is the founder and director of content for the blog Engineered Journals. He can be reached at kyle@engineeredjournals.com. “The junior engineer’s most important goal should be to balance the three aspects of their career: technical ability, social skills, and stewardship of the profession. Each aspect can be focused on like an individual skill. Neglecting one of these areas can result in a loss of opportunity.”

limits of your experience and when your input is not needed shows maturity. Written communication is next, but that will be covered in another article. 3)Stewardship of the profession. This may be the area that gets neglected the most. Engineers are trusted by society to build infrastructure and enhance quality of life. Previously I discussed “The Four Types of Problems all Engineers Must Solve.” The final problem discussed in that article was some- thing neither your company nor your industry have solved. These are the problems that can define a worthy career. Stew- ardship can also be fostered by joining a professional society such as ASCE and serving on the board. These board positions take you through the cycle of leadership within that organiza- tion, exposing you to a broader network. This broader net- work will lead to greater opportunities to grow the profession. You should also develop a curiosity for the profession
