Dr. Mark Shami and students in CE 166: Construction Engineering visited UC San Francisco's Parnassus Research and Academic Building construction site, to learn about the project's key activities. Hensel Phelps hosted the site walk and presentation, which covered the construction methods and heavy equipment leveraged for the complex project.
A special thank you to Cynthia Santiago-Vizcarra and the management team at Hensel Phelps, the Beavers Foundation, and Dr. Mark Shami and Alejandra Amador-Caro for making this field trip possible!
