Catena Consulting Engineers

Last week, the sun came out and the community showed up to celebrate the grand opening of Central Oregon Community College's newest building! Building 2 on the Madras campus will provide nursing and early childhood education programs to help meet local workforce needs. It is always an honor to be able to see our projects come to life and see how they will impact the future of local communities!

catena is excited to join the Oregon Chapter of the Structural Engineers Association (SEAO) for a powerful evening focused on community resilience and emergency preparedness.

This event will include “Engineers at Ground Zero”—a documentary highlighting the vital role structural engineers played in post–9/11 response and recovery efforts. This special screening, in collaboration with the Structural Engineers Association of New York, will be followed by a Q&A discussion.

A few of catena’s engineers had the opportunity to attend this year’s Mass Timber Conference right here in Portland, OR. We’re always excited to stay connected to the latest in mass timber and these are some of the projects we’ve been proud to work on along the way.
