Big welcome to Bob Roop as he joins SES as our K-12 Market Leader! After spending the last five years working for a large mechanical contractor, Bob is returning to the engineering community with an even deeper understanding of how design impacts construction, bringing a contractor’s perspective to our documentation and project approach.

With 30+ years of experience designing high-performance educational facilities, Bob has worked closely with school facilities staff to develop and implement designs that enhance classroom environments and support student success. His projects are known for their increased comfort, controllability, and flexibility, all while reducing energy consumption.

In addition to his K-12 efforts, Bob will focus on mentoring and talent development. We look forward to the impact he’ll have in growing the next generation of engineering leaders at SES.

Early collaboration is key to success! We worked closely with DTE Energy, Hamilton Anderson Associates, and the civil engineers to ensure existing utilities were robust enough to handle the infrastructure for The Preserve on Ash. With pad-on transformers on each site and careful load estimations, we've helped set the stage for a reliable and efficient power system for this new community.

It was so rewarding working on this one-of-a-kind fire training academy for Genesee Intermediate School District. It's about more than just a building—it's about equipping students with the skills, confidence, and real-world experience they need to step into critical roles in our communities. Projects like these remind us how impactful engineering can be—not just for the immediate users, but for the community as a whole.

🎥 Check out this video to see how this unique facility is helping shape future firefighters!

Created in response to a shortage of firefighters in the community, The Fire Academy trains students for a career in firefighting.

Many members of the + community find that as they age, they must go back to hiding who they are in order to find a safe space. But now, that safe space can be found in Ferndale's Raymond E. Shepherd House. The four-story residential development brings affordable and supporting housing to LGBTQ+ seniors. With 53 units, indoor and outdoor spaces, and a dedicated meeting center, the facility will help foster connection and improve the quality of life for its residents.

What a great experience, working with Full Circle Communities, Inc. and LBBA on this impactful project, which is a testament to the power in creating spaces that welcome everyone.

Check out the video to learn more about the vision behind it!

On Friday, touring began at the Raymond E. Shepherd House in downtown Ferndale, named after a longtime Ferndale resident who died in 2018.

Last night, Mike, Huong , Paul, and Brett had the pleasure of attending the IES Detroit December meeting, where the highlight of the evening was learning about the lighting on the National Christmas Tree. Did you know it takes 2.5 MILES of light strands to create that iconic holiday glow? A fascinating insight into the artistry and engineering behind such a beloved tradition!

Big thank you to IES for hosting such a great event—opportunities like these that keep us inspired and connected within the industry.

Looking forward to the next one!
