An industry expert in the design and construction of high-reliability facilities, <strong>Robert Courson<\/strong>, joins the firm as an Associate Principal \/ Senior Mechanical Engineer and will spearhead the growth of the engineering team in the Washington DC office.<\/p>\n<p style='text-align: center;'>\t<img alt='' src='\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Page_rob_courson_gallery-small.jpg' style='width: 440px; height: 253px;' \/><\/p>\n<p>\tWith more than two decades of experience in the nation&rsquo;s capital city, Rob is both a registered engineer and architect with an appreciation for how different perspectives enhance results. His portfolio ranges from managing the construction of more than one-million square feet of federally-secured IT space to numerous complex healthcare and lab facilities to a recent mixed-use Digital Eco-Village occupying an entire city block. His decades working on high reliability facilities has taught him how to get things done quickly while paying attention to the details.<\/p>\n<p>\tFor Rob, a successful project builds from early identification of goals and a solid platform of communication. &ldquo;Often people are not speaking the same language,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;But for a team to be cohesive, it is important that everyone feels part of the solution.&rdquo; A talented team, notes Rob, is able to walk the clients through each step of the process, ensuring there is an understanding where the project is heading. He emphasizes that helping a client define options early often results in finding surprising solutions.<\/p>\n<p>\tRob is also looking forward to the opportunities of expanding Page&rsquo;s engineering offerings in the DC metro area. &ldquo;Ashburn, VA is the home of 70 percent of all daily internet traffic,&rdquo; he notes. &ldquo;There are millions of square feet of mission critical space in the region with pressure for expansion.&rdquo; There are also significant areas for growth in other core market sectors in which Page specializes.<\/p>\n<p>\tPage Principal Andy Baxter notes that for several years Page has been looking to expand its <a href='https:\/\/pagethink.us1.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=4aff395542cbdf131d821adcf&amp;id=88571423ba&amp;e=c8e1862b22' style='-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%'><span style='color:#000080;'>engineering expertise<\/span><\/a> to the Washington DC office, in order to both support the existing architecture team and also to increase our visibility in the region, especially within the <a href='https:\/\/pagethink.us1.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=4aff395542cbdf131d821adcf&amp;id=da9d75167e&amp;e=c8e1862b22' style='-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%'><span style='color:#0000cd;'>mission critical<\/span><\/a> and <a href='https:\/\/pagethink.us1.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=4aff395542cbdf131d821adcf&amp;id=adb2096c76&amp;e=c8e1862b22' style='-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%'><span style='color:#0000cd;'>healthcare<\/span><\/a> industries. &ldquo;Rob brings the knowledge and experience to not only support this goal,&rdquo; says Baxter, &ldquo;but to also eventually develop a fully staffed engineering group that can work hand in hand with the other engineering resources currently located in the three Texas offices.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>\tWith more than 70 years of experience, Page engineering is a critical part of our firm. Our engineers are responsible for designing interdependent mechanical, electrical, plumbing, civil and structural systems for a wide range of projects around the world.

The Page team has worked on more than 30 design-build new embassy or new consular compounds, and is also very active in the design of international projects for non-United States government clients in countries such as Kuwait.<\/p>\n<p>\tAs head of the new engineering team in Washington DC, Rob is an important addition to the office leadership. &ldquo;We are delighted to welcome Rob to the Page team,&rdquo; notes Senior Principal Thomas McCarthy. &ldquo;His experience with complex projects in mission critical environments complements our core strengths and the needs of our clientele. Rob&rsquo;s portfolio includes collaboration with Page engineering projects going back over two decades. His recent accomplishments demonstrate technical acumen, attention to detail, and a creative design approach that will certainly improve the environments we create.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>\tFounded in 1898, Page, with offices in Washington DC and <a href='https:\/\/www.pagethink.com\/v\/locations\/'>five other United States locations<\/a> as well as an international office in the Middle East and other international affiliates, is one of the longest continuously operating multidisciplinary architectural and engineering firms in the United States.<\/p>\n<p style='text-align: center;'>\t<span style='color:#696969;'>###<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington DC &#8211;
