We’re proud to celebrate Meng, one of our exceptional engineers, on achieving Chartered Status as a Geotechnical Engineer with Engineers Australia. Meng joined Douglas in 2019 and has since become an invaluable member of the Canberra Office. Meng has taken many challenging projects over the last five years both in the field and engineering analysis in the office. Some of the various projects include remote work in the Snowy Mountains and Western NSW, for weeks at a time on TransGrid projects or Plaxis modelling for piled raft slab foundations of sewerage treatment plant structures to mention a few. Beyond technical expertise, Meng is always ready to lend a helping hand, mentoring and supporting the growth of our graduate engineers and fostering a collaborative team environment. Congratulations, Meng, on this remarkable milestone in your career! We’re lucky to have you as part of the Douglas Partners team. 👏 #TeamDouglas #EngineeringExcellence

Douglas Partners supported Novum’s forward-thinking design for Emmanuel College’s new Senior School learning centre. From tailored soil testing and groundwater analysis to foundation recommendations, we helped prepare this space for the future of learning. Discover more about our role here: https://lnkd.in/gqCb99bN #GeotechnicalEngineering #EducationInfrastructure
PROJECT UPDATE: Emmanuel College Senior School Our concept for Emmanuel College’s innovative new Senior School learning centre reimagines the traditional educational setting, emphasising flexibility, collaboration, and project-based learning. We aspire to create a space that not only meets the educational needs of today but also prepares students for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow. The new Senior School’s flexible learning areas have been designed to accommodate various teaching methods, subject areas, and diverse learning preferences. Movable furniture, retractable walls, plentiful writable and pinnable surfaces, audio-visual systems, and excellent acoustics will provide educators and students with the tools they need to tailor the environment to suit specific learning objectives. These areas will seamlessly adapt to meet the dynamic needs of a modern educational experience. At the heart of the Senior School learning centre will be two central learning commons that interconnect with the surrounding learning spaces, creating a dynamic environment that encourages interaction and knowledge sharing. These spaces will serve as a nexus for students and educators alike, fostering a sense of community and collaboration. To prepare students for the demands of the modern workforce, our design incorporates dedicated hospitality training kitchens located alongside a new café-style Canteen, providing hands-on experience for students pursuing careers in hospitality. A brand-new cafe-style Canteen completes the Senior School learning centre, providing a social and relaxed space for students and faculty to connect. The design incorporates comfortable seating, natural light, and a variety of food options to create a welcoming environment for breaks, informal meetings, and networking.
